Abstract
Forwarding of network packets generated by a networking device may be load-balanced. Network packets may be generated by a networking device, such as a packet processor, that also processes and forwards received network packets. Forwarding decisions for the generated network packets may be made according to a load balancing scheme among possible forwarding routes from the networking device. In at least some embodiments, a destination resolution pipeline for determining forwarding decisions for generated network packets may be implemented separate from a destination resolution pipeline for determining forwarding decisions for received network packets in order to determine different forwarding decisions for the generated network packets. The generated network packets may then be forwarded according to the determined forwarding decisions.
