Abstract
A stack group merging system includes a first stack group including a first master stack device and first slave stack device(s), and a second stack group includes a second master stack device and second slave stack device(s). The first master stack device determines a first total data traffic amount transmitted by itself and the first slave stack device(s) in the first stack group. The second master stack device determines a second total data traffic amount transmitted by itself and the second slave stack device(s) in the second stack group. The first and second master stack devices exchange the first and second total data traffic amounts, and the master stack device in the stack group that transmits a higher total data traffic amount then operates as a master slave device for a merged stack group including the first and second stack group.
