Mechanisms for Optimizing Link Aggregation Group and Equal- Cost Multipath Component Link Utilization in Networks
RFC 7424, “Mechanisms for Optimizing Link Aggregation Group and Equal- Cost Multipath Component Link Utilization in Networks”, is an Informational document published in January 2015 by R. Krishnan, L. Yong, A. Ghanwani, N. So, B. Khasnabish. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
Demands on networking infrastructure are growing exponentially due to bandwidth-hungry applications such as rich media applications and inter-data-center communications. In this context, it is important to optimally use the bandwidth in wired networks that extensively use link aggregation groups and equal-cost multipaths as techniques for bandwidth scaling. This document explores some of the mechanisms useful for achieving this.
