TRAFFIC FORWARDING IN A POINT MULTI-POINT LINK AGGREGATION USING A LINK SELECTOR DATA TABLE

摘要

A method, system and non-transitory computer-readable medium for forwarding data packet traffic in a point multi-point link aggregation using a link selector data table. A data packet is received at a device having a point multi-point link aggregation comprising a plurality of physical links. It is determined whether data extracted from the received data packet can be matched to one of a plurality of records in a link selector data table, where each record comprises data to identify a communication flow and data to identify one of the physical links, each record being generated from a data packet sampled in a transmission coming to the device along ones of the physical links. The received data packet is forwarded on the physical link identified by the one record, where the extracted data is matched to one of the plurality of records.
