METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PREVENTING POLARIZATION IN A NETWORK |
摘要 |
A method for configuring network devices. The method includes selecting a first hash function to use to process packets using Equal-Cost Multi-Path (ECMP) on a network device, where the first hash function is selected from a set of hash functions using a second hash function, a network chip ID of the network chip in the network device, a network device media access control (MAC) address, and an ECMP flag. The method further includes selecting a third hash function to use to process packets using a Link Aggregation Group (LAG), where the third hash function is selected from the set of hash functions using a fourth hash function, the network chip ID of the network chip in the network device, the network device MAC address, and the LAG flag. The method further includes processing a packet received by the network device using the first hash function or the third hash function. |

1. A method for configuring network devices, comprising:
selecting a first hash function to use to process packets using Equal-Cost Multi-Path (ECMP) on a network device, wherein the first hash function is selected from a set of hash functions using a second hash function, a network chip identification number (ID) of the network chip in the network device, a network device media access control (MAC) address, and an ECMP flag; selecting a third hash function to use to process packets using a Link Aggregation Group (LAG), wherein the third hash function is selected from the set of hash functions using a fourth hash function, the network chip ID of the network chip in the network device, the network device MAC address, and the LAG flag; and processing a packet received by the network device using at least one selected from a group consisting of the first hash function and the third hash function. |
