摘要: A network node or corresponding method of performing link aggregation reduces a number Content Addressable Memory (CAM) entries required to make forwarding decision for given ingress flow, reducing cost, size, and power consumption the CAM accompanying static RAM. In one embodiment, an flow is mapped egress identifier. Subsequently, identifier member aggregated group associated with interface based on information available in flow. Finally, forwarded interface. hashing technique two lookups may be used alone combination mapping reduce memory usage.
