I2RS Large Flow Use Case
Demands on networking bandwidth are growing exponentially due to
applications such as large file transfers and those with rich media.
Link Aggregation Group (LAG) and Equal Cost Multipath (ECMP) are
extensively deployed in networks to scale the bandwidth. However,
the flow based load balancing techniques used today make inefficient
use of the bandwidth in the presence of long lived large flows. This
draft presents a use-case to improve the efficiency under such
conditions and aims to drive requirements for the I2RS WG.
