ABSTRACT:
A cross stack port aggregation method and system associates a destination index with a received packet when it is provided to devices in the stack. Each device utilizes the destination index to access a descriptor identifying ports in the device included in the port aggregation group. An index generated from packet address data is used to select a bit in a group mask unique to each port.
