Feature

Description

Where Documented

Port channel dynamic load balancing

Port channel dynamic load balancing (DLB) is a networking technique that distributes traffic across multiple links in a port channel based on the load of each link. Port channel DLB adjusts traffic distribution on the links of a port channel based on the current load of the links. The switch monitors the egress traffic load on each link and selects the link with the least utilization to distribute the traffic. Port channel DLB results in efficient traffic distribution and improved network performance.
