Zusammenfassung:This disclosure describes techniques that include selecting a member port of an aggregation bundle by evaluating utilization of paths, within a router, to member ports of an aggregation bundle. In oneexample, this disclosure describes a method that includes receiving network data to be output through an aggregation bundle having a plurality of member ports; identifying local member ports; identifying non-local member ports, each of the non-local member ports being reachable from the receiving line card over a path through the switch fabric to a different one of the plurality of line cards; identifying available non-local member ports by determining, for each non-local member port, whether the path through the switch fabric has low utilization; and selecting a member port by applying a hashing algorithm to a group that includes each of the identified available non-local member ports. 本公开的各实施例涉及在链路聚合组中对成员端口的选择。本公开描述了包括通过评估路由器内的路径对聚合束的成员端口的利用率来选择聚合束的成员端口的技术。在一个示例中,本公开描述了一种方法,该方法包括接收要通过具有多个成员端口的聚合束输出的网络数据;标识本地成员端
