Abstract
Techniques for providing routing information of a first router device supporting multi-path routing from a second router device to a destination node. In an embodiment, multiple egress ports of the first router device are coupled to a second router device, where port groups of the second router device correspond to multiple network paths to the destination node. A routing engine of the first router device may forward packets to the destination node based on a set of entries in a routing table. In another embodiment, the set of entries defines for each of the multiple egress ports of the first router device a correspondence to only a respective one of the port groups of the second router device.
