Methods for Even Hash Distribution for Port Channel with a Large Number of Ports

摘要

Embodiments described herein achieve even traffic load-balancing among physical ports in a port channel with 2N ports of a networking switch. Embodiments may derive an upper limit of hash values given all the possible number of ports within a port channel. Based on the determined upper limit of hash values, embodiments provide the steps to evenly distribute hash values among ports in a port channel when adding or deleting a port to achieve even traffic load-balancing among ports in a port channel all the time.
