A hierarchical distributed routing architecture including at least two levels, or layers, for receiving, processing and forwarding data packets between network components is provided. The core level router components receive an incoming packet from a network component and identify a distribution level router component based on processing a subset of the destination address associated with the received packet. The distribution level router components receive a forwarded packet and forward the packet to a respective network. The mapping, or other assignment, of portions of destination addresses to router components of the distributed routing environment may be managed by a router management component. In some embodiments, mapping of destination address to router components may be based, at least in part, on traffic volumes associated with the mapped destination addresses.

A hierarchical distributed routing architecture including at least three levels, or layers, for receiving, processing and forwarding data packets between network components is provided. The core level router components receive an incoming packet from a network component and identify a distribution level router component based on processing a subset of the destination address associated with the received packet. The distribution level router components receive a forwarded packet and identify a transit level router component based on at least a subset of the destination address associated with the received packet. The transit level router components receive the forwarded packet and forward the packet to a respective network. The mapping of destination addresses to router components of may be managed by a router management component. In some embodiments, mapping of destination address to router components may be based, at least in part, on traffic volumes associated with the mapped destination addresses.

The core level router components receive an incoming packet from a network component and identify a distribution level router component based on processing a subset of the destination address associated with the received packet. The distribution level router components that receiving a forwarded packet and identify a transit level router component based a second processing of at least a subset of the destination address associated with the received packet. The distribution level router components maintain address routing information a first and second memory. The transit level router components receive the forwarded packet and forward the packet to a respective network. The mapping, or other assignment, of portions of the FIB associated with the distributed routing environment is managed by a router management component.

A routing management component is provided for distributing routing information among a hierarchical distributed routing architecture. The routing management component can function to associate levels of the routing architecture with subsets of a network address format. The routing management component can further assign routers of the routing architecture to portions of network addresses defined at least in part by the network address format. For example, a router may be assigned to route packets addressed to a network address with a first octet between a range of values. The router management component may further distribute, to the routers of the hierarchical distributed routing architecture, sections of routing information associated with their assigned portions of network addresses. Because routing information can be distributed between various routers, the memory requirements of individual routers can be reduced comparatively to systems in which a single router maintains an entire set of forwarding information.
