Abstract
In one embodiment, a routing table of a router is populated with a plurality of prefixes. One or more performance characteristics of the plurality of prefixes are monitored. The router determines that a need exists to split a selected prefix of the plurality of prefixes. The router determines one or more boundaries upon which to split the selected prefix based on the monitored performance characteristics. The router then injects one or more more-specific prefixes into the routing table, each more-specific prefix referring to a smaller subset of nodes than the selected prefix, to split the selected prefix on the one or more boundaries to create a plurality of split prefixes. The split prefixes are controlled to optimize distribution of traffic.
