Abstract:
A method, system, and apparatus to transmit replicated multicast packets over a plurality of physical network links that are combined into one logical channel or link so that the replicated multicast packets are distributed over more than one network link is disclosed. It is further disclosed that distribution over the network links is accomplished, in part, through analyzing the multicast packet for information other than ethernet addresses. Such information can include a tag header including destination interface information.
