Figure 6-8. Load Sharing Example
Optimizing Hunt Group Throughput
To optimize hunt group throughput follow these considerations.
■
Forwarding Engines in the hunt group ports should be separate from
the ports involved in the modules traffic flows.
■
The greater the number of non-member Forwarding Engines in the
system, the greater the ability of the system to load-share.
■
Distribute the hunt group across more than one Fabric Port per slot.
■
Distribute the hunt group across media modules.
