Abstract
A method is provided for handling member link state changes in an aggregate interface. An aggregate interface may be established to include a number of member links. A mask may be associated with the aggregate interface, where the mask identifies a current state of each member link in the aggregate interface. The mask is retrieved and used to identify active links in the aggregate interface when packets are received for forwarding on the aggregate interface.
