Claim 8:
9. A network device comprising a processor and a non-transitory storage medium having stored thereon instructions that, as a result of execution of the instructions by the processor, cause the network device to:
detect an excess resource utilization of a first set of a plurality of sub-tunnels based on network resource utilizations of the plurality of sub-tunnels;
determine an ordered set of the plurality of sub-tunnels by sorting the plurality of sub-tunnels according to the network resource utilizations;
determine a first distribution of the excess resource utilization over a second set of the plurality of sub-tunnels based on the ordered set of the plurality of sub-tunnels;
determine a second distribution of the excess resource utilization over a third set of the plurality of sub-tunnels based on the ordered set of the plurality of sub-tunnels in response to a determination that a first resource utilization associated with the first distribution exceeds a first next highest resource utilization among the plurality of sub-tunnels relative to the first resource utilization; and
establish the second distribution for the third set in response to a determination that a second resource utilization associated with the second distribution is less than a second next highest resource utilization among the plurality of sub-tunnels relative to the second resource utilization.
