Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A system and method for forwarding network traffic includes receiving a first flow of network traffic at an ingress port on a switch, collecting flow control metrics for a plurality of egress ports assigned to a link aggregation group of the switch, selecting a first egress port from the plurality of egress ports using a hashing strategy based on at least information associated with the flow control metrics, assigning the first flow to the first egress port, directing the first flow to the first egress port, and transmitting network traffic associated with the first flow using the first egress port.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method of forwarding network traffic, the method comprising: receiving a first flow of network traffic at an ingress port on a switch; receiving flow control messages at a plurality of egress ports assigned to a link aggregation group of the switch; determining flow control metrics for the plurality of egress ports, the flow control metrics including aggregate properties of the received flow control messages; selecting a first egress port from the pl…
