Abstract:
Methods and systems for aggregating Ethernet communications are disclosed. A disclosed apparatus includes a first Ethernet port to communicate with a second Ethernet port of a first device, a third Ethernet port to communicate with a fourth Ethernet port of a second device, a fifth Ethernet port to receive Ethernet frames, and a switching portion to direct nth ones of the frames to a first queue associated with the second port, direct n−1 frames preceding each of the nth ones of the frames to a second queue associated with the fourth port, and select a value of n based on a ratio of a first non-zero data rate of the first device for a first communication link in a first direction and a second non-zero data rate of the second device for a second communication link in the first direction, and based on a remaining capacity of the first queue.
