Abstract

See full text

Embodiments of the invention are directed to providing a method for selecting a link for transmitting a data packet, from links of a Multi-Link Point-to-Point Protocol (MLPPP) bundle, by compiling a list of links having a minimum queue depth and selecting the link in a round robin manner from the list. Some embodiments of the invention further provide for a flag to indicate if the selected link has been assigned to a transmitter so that an appropriate link will be selected even if link queue depth status is not current.
