Abstract:

An example method for dynamic packet routing using prioritized groups includes: receiving, by a processing device, routing information specifying a plurality of paths to a network destination, wherein each path is associated with a respective cost metric value; associating a first subset of the plurality of paths with a first priority routing group for the network destination, wherein each path of the first subset satisfies a first cost criterion based on a cost metric value of the path; associating a second subset of the plurality of paths with a second priority routing group for the network destination, wherein each path of the second subset satisfies a second cost criterion; and storing, in a forwarding information data structure, a first definition of the first priority routing group and a second definition of a second priority routing group.
