Abstract
A first set of instructions associated with an egress of a datagram may be determined, the first set of instructions identifying a first subset of a second set of instructions, the first subset including multiple individual network identifiers identifying which network portion to transmit a replication of the datagram. Which one of the multiple individual network identifiers corresponds to the datagram may be determined from the first subset of the second set of instructions and may be based on the egress of the datagram, wherein each network identifier corresponds to a different egress. The replication of the datagram may be provided to the egress of the determined network identifier for transmission to the network portion as identified by the determined network identifier corresponding to the datagram.
