1. A method for managing a computing network implementing packet delivery contexts (PDCs), the method comprising:
generating an entropy value for a data packet to be transmitted on the computing network, the entropy value usable to select or change a network path for the data packet;
in response to receiving an acknowledgement message for the data packet, determining that the entropy value is acknowledged as not congested and saving the entropy value in a storage structure; and
reusing an oldest saved entropy value from the storage structure to transmit an additional data packet and invalidating the oldest saved entropy value.
