Abstract:
A transmission control system for controlling management processes, such as shaping, is presented. The management processes are directed to data streams that are parts of data traffic transmitted via a link aggregation group having egress ports in separate functional entities of a network element. For each data frame of the data traffic, it is detected whether the data frame belongs to any of the data streams. Data frames belonging to none of the data streams are forwarded so that these data frames are distributed between the functional entities according to a link aggregation rule. A management rule is maintained for indicating, for each of the data streams, a stream-specific functional entity that runs each management process directed to the data stream. Each data frame belonging to one of the data streams is forwarded to the appropriate stream-specific functional entity in accordance with the management rule.

Claim (Index 25):
A transmission control system according to  claim 23 , wherein the forwarding-control mechanism is configured to:\n maintain the management rule to indicate, for at least the one of the data streams, a group of backup entities from among the functional entities, each of the backup entities being configured to run each of the one or more management processes to be directed to the one of the data streams, maintain the management rule to indicate a backup order in which the backup entities are to be used in lieu of the stream-specific functional entity related to the one of the data streams, and control, in response to a switchover to one of the backup entities, the data frames belonging to the one of the data streams to be forwarded to the one of the backup entities.
