Patent

CA 2401024

In a switch with multiple physical links to a destination, data is forwarded to the destination by distributing received data across the physical links. A flow hash is selected for the received data's data flow dependent on a destination address and source address included in the received data. The flow hash selects one of the physical links to the destination for a data flow but potentially a different physical link for a different data flow, thereby fowarding the received data by distributing the received data across the physical links while maintaining frame ordering within a data flow.

L'invention concerne un commutateur muni de plusieurs lignes vers une destination, dans lequel on transmet les données vers leur destination en les distribuant entre les lignes physiques. On choisit pour le flux de données des données reçues un hachage de flux qui dépend d'une adresse de destination et d'une adresse source incluses dans les données reçues. Le hachage de flux choisit l'une des lignes physiques vers la destination pour un flux de données mais, potentiellement, une ligne physique différente pour un flux de données différent et, ce faisant, il transmet les données reçues en les distribuant entre les lignes physiques tout en préservant l'ordonnancement des trames à l'intérieur du flux de données.
