Abstract
Embodiments disclosed herein relate to methods and computer-readable mediums for preserving forwarding equivalence class (FEC) hierarchy weights, which may include obtaining a FEC hierarchy; obtaining a target height for the FEC hierarchy; identifying within the FEC hierarchy a FEC node comprising pointers to a plurality of lower level FEC nodes; making a first determination that a height of the FEC node is greater than the target height; obtaining a rebasing factor for the FEC node; and updating weights for the plurality of lower level FEC nodes using the rebasing factor to obtain an updated FEC hierarchy.
