one or more computers, wherein each of the one or more computers comprises one or more microprocessors;
a network at the one or more computers, the network comprising a plurality of switches and a metabase,
wherein the metabase stores a first set of leaf-switch to leaf-switch multipaths, each of the first set of leaf-switch to leaf-switch multipath being calculated by a management entity of the network;
wherein upon detection, by the management entity, of a reconfiguration triggering event, at least one multipath of the first set of leaf-switch to leaf-switch multipaths is distributed, from the metabase and by the management entity, to the plurality of switches;
wherein a plurality of linear forwarding tables of the network are updated in parallel based upon the distributed at least one multipath.
