Abstract

Introduced herein is a routing technique that, for example, routes a transaction to a destination port over a network that supports link aggregation and multi-port connection. In one embodiment, two tables that can be searched based on the target and supplemental routing IDs of the transaction are utilized to route the transaction to the proper port of the destination endpoint. In an embodiment, the first table provides a list of available ports at each hop/route point that can route the transaction to the destination endpoint, and the second table provides a supplemental routing ID that can select a specific group of ports from the first table that can correctly route the transaction to the proper port.
