Abstract
A system for providing a substantially balanced distribution of traffic over an aggregation of output lines carrying digital information makes use of m random or pseudo-random bits substantially greater in number than the number of bits (n) used for selection of individual lines. The m bits address a table populated with n-bit entries whose bit combinations correspond with the respective output lines, with the relative numbers of the bit combinations being such as to provide substantially equal loads on the individual lines.
