Here is my hardware setup
Dual C6K 6509 w/SUP2/MSFC2/PFC2
Cat6000-sup2cv.6-2-2.bin
Switch Fabric Module 2
16 port GIG-E modules (Shortwave)
I have configured an 8 port etherchannel bundle between the two switches, same admin group.
I would like to figure out how I can determine which link in the bundle is passing STP PDU's. I know the switches load distribute traffic (U/B/M), does this include STP as well?
Thanks in advance for any help

STP BPDUs are not load balanced across the EtherChannel bundle. They go out the first link of the the channel.

Thanks for the info!
I assume you are referring to the first port listed when initially configuring the etherchannel bundle.
Is there a way within the switch to verify this, or do I need to use outside tools?

Yes, the first member of the active channel.
I don't believe there is an easy way through the CLI you can verify which port within the channel is actually transmitting BPDUs. You could try using the
