A method and apparatus for managing an information routing information base is described. A method comprises managing a routing information base (RIB), the RIB including a first set of elements that indicate a set of destinations, a second set of elements that indicate a set of next hops, a third set of elements that indicate a set of interfaces, receiving a message that indicates a modification to a plurality of routes corresponding to a plurality of the first set of elements, and modifying a first relationship between one of the second set of elements and a first one of the third set of elements and a second relationship between the one of the second set of elements and a second one of the third set of elements in accordance with the message, the one of the second set of elements referenced by the plurality of the first set of elements.
