Abstract
According to embodiments herein e.g. a method performed by a network node unit for managing packet handling in a communications network is provided. The network node unit reads through routing entries in a routing information base. The network node unit performs for one or more routing entries, a hash process on a network address of the routing entry into a hashed network address associated with an identity of a forwarding unit. The network node unit sends information relating to the routing entry to the forwarding unit with the identity thereby partitioning the routing entries to different forwarding units e.g. targeted by a correlated traffic distribution mechanism.
