Zusammenfassung:Techniques for operating a network device for increasing the logical multi-path size of a hardware forwarding table are provided. In some embodiments, the network device may determine that a number of data points in a first node is greater than a maximum node capacity; generate second nodes; update the first node to refer to the second nodes; distribute the data points among the second nodes; and program a hardware table with the updated first node and the second nodes.
