Abstract
Technology related to sending data items via network links in a link aggregate group is disclosed. Data items (such as network packets received via a computer network) can be analyzed to determine whether the data items qualify for a relaxed transmission ordering. If a data item does not qualify for relaxed transmission ordering, then a network link in the link aggregate group can be selected based on contents of the data item (such as by generating a signature or key based on headers of the data item and selecting a network link based on the signature or key). However, if the data item does qualify for relaxed transmission ordering, then a network link in the link aggregate group can be selected based on available capacities of the network links (such as by selecting a network link with a largest available capacity).
