Abstract
In the operation of an MPLS network or the like, a network node receives a plurality of packets assigned to a label switched path (LSP) which exits the node on a link bundle. The node forwards the received packets such that packets assigned to the LSP are distributed over two or more distinct component links of the bundle.
