Title : Best Practices for Optimal LAG/ECMP Component Link Utilization in Provider Backbone Networks Author(s) : Ram Krishnan Sanjay Khanna Lucy Yong Anoop Ghanwani Ning So Bhumip Khasnabish Filename : draft-krishnan-opsawg-large-flow-load-balancing-02.txt Pages : 14 Date : 2013-01-12 Abstract: Demands on networking infrastructure are growing exponentially; the drivers are bandwidth hungry rich media applications, inter-data center communications, etc. In this context, it is important to optimally use the bandwidth in the service provider backbone networks which extensively use LAG/ECMP techniques for bandwidth scaling. This draft describes the issues faced in service provider backbones in the context of LAG/ECMP and recommends some best practices for managing the bandwidth efficiently in service provider backbones.
