ABSTRACT:
A method and system for creating and maintaining an allocation table that associates allocation buckets with corresponding target identifiers. Each target identifier has a corresponding weighting value. The allocation table has a number of allocation buckets, each associated with a target identifier. When one or more weighting values change, one or more buckets are reassigned to different target identifiers. A number of factors are considered in determining whether to delay modification of the allocation table, in order to further reduce disruption. The allocation table may be used to distribute packets among network devices, or more generally, to route packets along paths in a network.
