摘要 |
The present invention provides methods and systems for the management of sequence-sensitive, connection-oriented traffic on a multi-link aggregated port. The methods include: at a first end of a multi-link aggregated port, selectively enabling a first constituent link of a plurality of constituent links to transmit data traffic in a first direction via a transmit state block associated with the first constituent link; and, at the first end of the multi-link aggregated port, selectively enabling the plurality of constituent links to receive data traffic from a second direction via a plurality of receive state blocks associated with the plurality of constituent links. The methods also include: at a second end of the multi-link aggregated port, selectively enabling a second constituent link of the plurality of constituent links to transmit data traffic in the second direction via a transmit state block associated with the second constituent link; and, at the second end of the multi-link aggregated port, selectively enabling the plurality of constituent links to receive data traffic from the first direction via a plurality of receive state blocks associated with the plurality of constituent links.
