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 23):
A transmission control system for controlling one or more management processes directed to one or more data streams each being a part of data traffic transmitted via a link aggregation group having egress ports in multiple functional entities of a network element, the transmission control system comprising:\n a detection mechanism for detecting, for each of data frames belonging to the data traffic, whether the data frame under consideration belongs to any of the data streams, and a forwarding-control mechanism for controlling the data frames belonging to none of the data streams to be forwarded to the functional entities so that these data frames are distributed between the functional entities according to a link aggregation rule related to the link aggregation group, wherein the forwarding-control mechanism is configured to:\n maintain a management rule indicating, for each of the data streams, a stream-specific functional entity, the stream-specific functional entity being one of the functional entities and being configured to run each of the one or more management processes to be directed to the data stream under consideration, and \n control, in accordance with the management rule, the data frames belonging to one of the data streams to be forwarded to the stream-specific functional entity related to the one of the data streams.
