RFC 7424 Title: Mechanisms for Optimizing Link Aggregation Group (LAG) and Equal-Cost Multipath (ECMP) Component Link Utilization in Networks Author: R. Krishnan, L. Yong, A. Ghanwani, N. So, B. Khasnabish Status: Informational Stream: IETF Date: January 2015 Mailbox: ramkri123@gmail.com, lucy.yong@huawei.com, anoop@alumni.duke.edu, ningso@yahoo.com, vumip1@gmail.com Pages: 29 Characters: 60733 Updates/Obsoletes/SeeAlso: None I-D Tag: draft-ietf-opsawg-large-flow-load-balancing-15.txt URL: https://www.rfc-editor.org/info/rfc7424 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. This document is a product of the Operations and Management Area Working Group Working Group of the IETF.
