Abstract
A data processing system and method in a computer network are disclosed for improving performance of a link aggregation system included in the network. Parameters are established which are utilized to determine performance criteria of the link aggregation system. A performance of the link aggregation system is determined by determining the performance criteria. The performance of the link aggregation system changes in response to a flow traffic burden on the link aggregation system changing. The link aggregation system dynamically modifies the parameters in response to the changing performance of the link aggregation system. The link aggregation system is self-tuning and capable of automatically adjusting to a changing flow traffic burden on the link aggregation system.
