ABSTRACT:
In one embodiment, a load-balancing algorithm ensures that both network nodes at endpoints of a group of physical links aggregated into a logical channel are using the same load-sharing algorithm and also ensures that the load-sharing algorithm is normalized so that the same flow traverses the same physical link in both directions.
