Techniques described herein can use a hybrid load balancing approach to balance loads on paths in a switch fabric. The switch fabric can deliver synchronization data between processors in a multi-processor cluster, and the synchronization data can load the paths on which it is sent. First paths can be identified in the switch fabric, and first synchronization data can be distributed to the first paths using a first load balancing approach, such as a telemetry assisted load balancing approach. Second paths can be identified in the switch fabric, and second synchronization data can be distributed to the second paths using a second load balancing approach, such as a packet spraying load balancing approach.

In one embodiment, the quasi-output-queue behavior of a packet switch is implemented using virtual output queue (VOQ) ordering determined independently for each particular output queue (OQ), including using maintained latency information for the VOQs of a particular OQ. In one embodiment, all packets from all VOQs with the same port priority destination experience similar latency within a particular time window, similar to the packet service provided by an output-queue switch fabric. In one embodiment, all input ports sending traffic to the same output port priority receive bandwidth proportional to their bandwidth demand divided by the total bandwidth. Existing methods to simulate the performance of an OQ switch fabric require complex and time-consuming scheduling determinations, and do not scale. Independently determining the order in which to send packets from the VOQs associated with each particular OQ provides quasi-output-queue behavior to a system that is scalable and implementable.
