Abstract
An entropy value is generated for a data packet to be transmitted on a computing network. The entropy value is usable to select or change a network path for the data packet. In response to receiving an acknowledgement message for the data packet, the entropy value is saved in a storage structure if the entropy value is acknowledged as not congested. When transmitting an additional data packet, the oldest saved entropy from the storage structure is reused and the oldest saved entropy value is invalidated.
