Abstract
A method for selective link aggregation in a virtualized data processing environment is provided in the illustrative embodiments. A data packet is received at a switch. An identifier associated with the data packet is determined. The identifier corresponds to a logical partition in a logical partitioned data processing system. A lookup is performed in a data structure to determine a set of ports associated with the identifier. The set of ports is retrieved from the data structure. A port is selected from the set of ports and the data packet is transmitted from the port to the logical partition.
