Port Trunking
Outbound Traffic Distribution Across Trunked Links
Table 11-6. Example of Link Assignments in a Trunk Group (SA/DA Distribution)
Source: Destination: Link:
Node A Node W 1
Node B Node X 2
Node C Node Y 3
Node D Node Z 1
Node A Node Y 2
Node B Node W 3
Because the amount of traffic coming from or going to various nodes in a
network can vary widely, it is possible for one link in a trunk group to be fully
utilized while other links in the same trunk have unused bandwidth capacity
even if the assignments were evenly distributed across the links in a trunk.
