Systems and methods provide Link Aggregation Group (LAG) load distribution via Layer 2 (L2) source forwarding/routing in a network. An apparatus includes circuitry configured to monitor a status of the network, and, responsive to new traffic from an access node, determine a path in one or more LAGs in the network, each LAG of the one or more LAGs includes multiple links aggregated together as a single logical link, wherein the path is determined between the access node and other nodes in the network based on the status. The circuitry can be further configured to provide instructions to the access node for forwarding the new traffic on the determined path.
An apparatus configured to provide Link Aggregation Group (LAG) load distribution via Layer 2 (L2) source forwarding/routing in a network, the apparatus comprising circuitry configured to:
A method for Link Aggregation Group (LAG) load distribution via Layer 2 (L2) source forwarding/routing in a network, the method comprising steps of:
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions for Link Aggregation Group (LAG) load distribution via Layer 2 (L2) source forwarding/routing in a network, the instructions, when executed, cause one or more processors to perform steps of:
