Carrier Trunks
High-density 10 GbE and 100 GbE Link Aggregation
• Highest scalability Link Aggregation (LAG) for highcapacity networks
• Advanced hashing algorithms balance load evenly for
Layer 2, IPv4, IPv6, and MPLS traffic
R1
Carrier
Trunks
R2
• Even traffic distribution for any number of LAG links
• Deep packet header hashing for tunneled traffic
• Separate computation used for ECMP and LAG
• Minimizes correlation of ECMP with LAG for more even
traffic distribution
• Multi-Chassis Trunking (MCT) provides module, link,
and chassis LAG redundancy
© 2013 Brocade Communications Systems, Inc. Company Proprietary Information
64 × 10 GbE ports/LAG =
640 Gbps Capacity
16 × 100 GbE ports/LAG =
1.6 Tbps Capacity

Polarization Effect with Hash-based Forwarding
• In a multi-stage network, routers pick the same path for flows with identical hashes, which
can lead to uneven traffic distribution
Each Router Picks the Same
Link for Flows with the Same
Hash Value
All Flows Have the Same Hash
Value on All Routers
Flow A
Flow B
Flow C

Brocade Innovation: Neutralizing Hash Polarization
Hash diversification
• Run a different variant of the hash algorithm at each stage of network (for both LAG and
ECMP) to neutralize the polarization effect
• Flows are now distributed evenly
Flow A
Flow B
Flow C
All Flows Have the Same Hash Value
on the Ingress Router, But Different
Hashes on Other Routers
