Abstract
One embodiment can provide for forwarding a packet. During operation, the system can identify a plurality of physical links for forwarding the packet received at a first physical port. In response to determining that one or more physical links within the identified plurality of physical links are coupled to a same line card where the first physical port resides, the system chooses one of the determined physical links coupled to the same line card for forwarding the packet. In response to determining that no physical link within the plurality of physical links is coupled to the same line card, the system chooses one physical link within the plurality of physical links for forwarding the packet.
