Abstract

See full text

In general, techniques are described for scheduling traffic for delivery over an aggregated bundle of links. A network device comprising an interface and a data plane may implement the techniques. The interface receives packets associated with packet flows. The data plane associates each of the packet flows with a different link of an aggregated bundle of links. The data plane monitors transmission of the packets via the links to determine a representation of an amount of data sent per link. The data plane further determines that bandwidth utilization does not conform to a desired bandwidth utilization based on the determined representation of the amount of data sent per link. The data plane then re-associates the packet flows to different links of the aggregated bundle based on the determination that the bandwidth utilization does not conform to the desired bandwidth utilization.
