Share does not loadshare as it should

[Anders_Sjökvist]

Hi
Im creating a link aggregation with LACP between a X670V and a Ericsson SSR8000. The share contains 4 10Gb links and works fine except that it doesn't loadbalance over all 4 links. We have configured it to use L3-L4 as algorithm and the destinations ipaddresses contains a fair ammount of different addresses and tcp-ports. Whatever we do it just shares over 2 ports sending out from the 670. If i disable on port that actually sends traffic then it starts using all three ports but not balanced. Anyone out there with any ideas?

Raise it to extreme TAC to get confirmation With the results . If it is a bug they will fix it

Yes i know that we can't get perfect balance but i tink it shoud share among all links if you have a enough destination addresses/ports in the data flow. So i don't think it's expected behaviour.

This is an expected behaviour lag algorithm doesn't do equal load balancing on all links but instead it will only load share.

The incomming traffic comes on all 4 links and all ports are active. If i disable 1 of the active ports the trasffic is shared among the 3 remaining ports but not even. It looks like if i have a even amount of links the sharing is done on half of them and if i have odd number of links it shares on all links but not even.
