This paper describes the characteristics of an optimal routing that assigns each arriving packet to one of two heterogeneous parallel servers. The characteristics are derived from numerical solutions to a routing problem, which finds an optimal routing that minimizes the average packet delay under the condition that the input traffic is completely deterministic.
