Methods and apparatus for improving hash-based load balancing with per-hop seeding are disclosed. The methods and apparatus described herein provide a set of techniques that enable nodes to perform differing mathematical transformations when selecting a destination link. The techniques include manipulation of seeds, hash configuration mode randomization at a per node basis, per node/microflow basis or per microflow basis, seed index generation, and member selection. A node can utilize any, or all, of the techniques presented in this disclosure simultaneously to improve traffic distribution and avoid path starvation with a degree of determinism.
