Abstract
Embodiments described herein relate to techniques for distributing shaped subinterfaces among physical interfaces of a port channel. Such techniques include receiving a request to configure a shape rate for a port channel subinterface; generating a physical interface set specifying: a first physical interface and a first allocated bandwidth associated with the first physical interface; and a second physical interface and a second allocated bandwidth associated with the second physical interface; making a selection, using the physical interface set, of the first physical interface based on the first allocated bandwidth being lesser than the second allocated bandwidth; assigning the first physical interface as a first anchor interface for the first port channel subinterface; and adding the first shape rate to the first allocated bandwidth to obtain a first new allocated bandwidth for the first physical interface.
