Link Aggregation (LAG)

Define the member links and their speed and I compute the aggregate bandwidth, the per-flow ceiling (one flow never exceeds one link) and the hash balancing, warning if the split is uneven.

1 16

LACP allows up to 8 active members per bundle on many platforms; some reach 16.

Informational: it only changes which fields feed the hash, not the number of buckets. The split is computed from the bucket count.

Buckets per member

How it is computed · aggregate, flow and buckets

1. Aggregate bandwidth = N × speed. It is the theoretical ceiling: the sum of all active members.

2. Per-flow ceiling = 1 link. The hash maps each flow (same source/destination pair) to one member, so a single flow never exceeds one link's speed.

3. Hash buckets: a power of 2 (typ. 8). They are split across the N members: base = ⌊buckets / N⌋ with buckets mod N leftover buckets going to the first members.

4. If N is not a power of 2 it does not divide the buckets and the split is uneven (e.g. 3 members with 8 buckets → 3/3/2): some members carry more traffic than others.
