A system for load balancing allocation of flows to egress links in a link aggregation is provided. The system includes an input port to receive a packet corresponding to a flow, a plurality of egress ports, a frame distributor coupled to the egress ports, a processor, and a memory coupled to the processor and configured to store bandwidth requirements of the flow. The system also includes a packet parsing unit configured to receive the packet from the input port, receive a first signal from the processor that programs an association of the flow the packet belongs to with an egress port based on bandwidth requirements of the flow stored in the memory, and send a second signal to the frame distributor to direct the packet to the egress port based on the association of the flow with the corresponding egress port.
