Abstract
One embodiment of the present invention sets forth a technique for generating one or more hash data structures. The technique includes generating a hash data structure having entries that correspond to a plurality of content servers, and, for each file included in a first plurality of files, allocating the file to one or more content servers included in the plurality of content servers by comparing a hash value associated with the file to one or more entries included in the entries. The technique further includes comparing a network bandwidth utilization of a first content server to a network bandwidth utilization associated with one or more other content servers included in the plurality of content servers to generate a result, and modifying a first number of entries associated with the first content server and included in the entries based on the result to generate a biased hash data structure.
