Methods and apparatus for implementing multiple loopback links

摘要

In some embodiments, a non-transitory processor-readable medium stores code representing instructions to be executed by a processor that cause the processor to receive a data unit having a header portion. The code causes the processor to select a route based on the header portion and modify, based on the route being associated with a tunnel, the data unit to define a tunnel data unit including a tunnel header. The code causes the processor to select a loopback link from a set of loopback links of a loopback link aggregation group (LAG). The code further causes the processor to receive via the loopback link, the tunnel data unit and send the tunnel data unit via the tunnel based on the tunnel header.

1. A non-transitory processor-readable medium storing code representing instructions to be executed by a processor, the code comprising code to cause the processor to:
receive, at a network device, a data unit having a header portion; select a route based on the header portion; modify, based on the route being associated with a tunnel, the data unit to define a tunnel data unit including a tunnel header; select a loopback link from a plurality of loopback links of a loopback link aggregation group (LAG); transmit, via the loopback link within the network device, the tunnel data unit; and send the tunnel data unit via the tunnel based on the tunnel header.
