Abstract

See full text

PortChannel groups are disclosed which include multiple PortChannel links of a PortChannel. Further, the selection of a particular PortChannel group, and possibly a PortChannel link within a selected PortChannel group, for a packet is provided by user-programmable matching of programmed values or rules to data extracted from the packet. In this manner, the forwarding of packets over PortChannel groups can be explicit. Moreover, packets of different flows of a packet session can be caused to be forwarded over a same PortChannel group, possibly leading to a service node for performing one or more applications based on the packets of the flow(s) of a packet session.
