Abstract
Systems, methods, and devices for improved routing operations in a network computing environment. A system includes a network topology comprising a spine node and a plurality of leaf nodes. The system is such that at least one of the plurality of leaf nodes is associated with one or more networking prefixes. The spine node stores a prefix table. The prefix table includes a listing of networking prefixes in the network topology. The prefix table includes an indication of at least one equal-cost multipath routing (ECMP) group associated with each of the networking prefixes in the network topology. The prefix table includes an indication of at least one leaf node of the plurality of leaf nodes associated with each of the networking prefixes in the network topology.
