  • Systems and methods for traffic redirection on disruptive configurations in link aggregation groups
    Patent number: 10938732
    Abstract: Various systems and methods take advantage of physical interfaces that are a part of Link Aggregation Group (LAG) to avoid traffic drops when disruptive configurations are applied to a port of a switch or router.
