Methods and systems for resource optimization

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.

A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising computer readable program code, which when executed by a computer processor enables the computer processor 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.
