Abstract
A method for weighted routing of data traffic can include generating a first hash value based on a header of a data packet and performing a lookup in a first ECMP table using the first hash value to select a secondary ECMP table from at least two secondary un-weighted ECMP tables, the first ECMP table including a weighted listing of the at least two secondary un-weighted ECMP tables. The method can also include generating a second hash value based on the header of the data packet and performing a lookup in the selected secondary ECMP table based on the second hash value to select an egress port of a plurality of egress ports of the data switch and forwarding the data packet on the selected egress port.
