Abstract:
In one embodiment, a method includes receiving a request to establish a path for a data stream from the first network apparatus to a second network apparatus, where the request is associated with a requested bandwidth for the data stream, and where the first network apparatus and the second network apparatus are connected by a link aggregation group including a number of physical links, accessing bandwidth information representing a number of remaining bandwidths of the respective multiple of physical links, determining that the requested bandwidth is not satisfied by any of the number of remaining bandwidths of the number of physical links, and sending a response rejecting the request to establish the path.
