Abstract
A method and apparatus of a device that queues an out-of-order packet received on a multi-link group is described. In an exemplary embodiment, the device receives a packet on a link of the multi-link group of a network element, where the packet is part of a data flow. The device further examines the packet, if the packet is associated with a re-orderable route. In addition, the device examines the packet by retrieving a packet sequence number from the packet and comparing the packet sequence number with the last received sequence number for this data flow. The device transmits the packet if the packet is a next packet in the data flow. If the packet is out-of-order, the device queues the packet.
