Abstract
A load balancing component may obtain, from a plurality of packet forwarding components of the network device, indications of load balancing metrics associated with a plurality of communication links that the plurality of packet forwarding components use to forward packet data. The load balancing component may determine, based on the load balancing metrics, aggregate load balancing metrics associated with respective communication links of the plurality of communication links. The load balancing component may identify an imbalance in load balancing metrics. The load balancing component may determine, based on the imbalance, a load balancing schedule that indicates traffic distributions for the plurality of packet forwarding components. The load balancing component may provide indications of the traffic distributions to the plurality of packet forwarding components to permit the plurality of packet forwarding components to forward packet data based on the indications of the traffic distributions.
