Claim 8:
9. A network device, comprising:
memory; and
a processor, wherein the processor is configured to perform a method for optimizing network device resources, comprising:
receiving a resource allocation entry that identifies a resource fragment;
receiving an indication of whether the resource allocation entry is indicated as optimal;
in response to receiving the indication that the resource allocation entry is indicated as optimal, removing from a resource class optimization queue that is a data structure stored in a memory of a network device any resource optimization entry associated with the resource fragment; and
in response to receiving the indication that the resource allocation entry is indicated as non-optimal, either maintaining an existing resource optimization entry associated with the resource fragment or adding a new resource optimization entry associated with the resource fragment in the resource class optimization queue.
