Abstract
A link aggregation load balancing apparatus includes a flow monitoring circuit and an initial allocation circuit. The flow monitoring circuit is arranged to monitor flows of a plurality of member ports belonging to a link aggregation group, for performing classification upon the plurality of member ports to generate a member port classification result. The initial allocation circuit is arranged to refer to the member port classification result for selecting a target member port from the plurality of member ports to act as a forward port of a data flow.
