VPC Load Balancing

[opnineopnine]

Hi all,

I have configure vpc bettewn two remote sites,with black fiber, and I was testing the L2 and I found that all the traffic goes only one way is not makeing any balance between divices.

Each 7700 has one conection to the other 7700.

Will this be normal?

Thanks.

LACP port channel is flow based load balancing.  Depending on your load balancing algorithm (configurable) if you have one flow it will get hashed to one of the port channel members.  The more flows you have (different source/destinations), the more "load balancing" you will achieve because of the more randomness of your flows means the output of the algorithm will hit other link(s).

hello ppalmerjr,

What will a god load balanc algorithm configuration be?

thanks.

I've always used the most specific method of loadbalancing.  This way I would get the best load balancing as flows will use multiple links.
