Best Practices for Optimal LAG/ECMP Component Link Utilization in Provider 
Backbone networks - Key ideas
The suggested techniques in this draft for optimal LAG/ECMP component link 
utilization are meant to put forth a locally optimized solution, i.e. local in 
the sense of both measuring and optimizing for long-lived large flows at 
individual nodes in the network. This approach would not yield a globally 
optimal placement of a large, long-lived flow across several nodes in the 
network which some networks may desire/require. On the other hand, this may be 
adequate for some operators for the following reasons 1) Different links in the 
network experience different levels of utilization and, thus, a more "targeted" 
solution is needed for those few hot-spots in the network 2) Some networks may 
lack end-to-end visibility.

Areas which need further discussion
Standards-based data model for exporting long-lived large flow information from 
routers to a central management entity.

Your comments/feedback would be much appreciated.

Thanks, ramki

Subject: new IETF draft - large flow load-balancing

All,

A new IETF draft on large flow load-balancing has been posted. We have very 
good feedback so far from Shane Amante; your comments would be much appreciated.

Thanks, ram
