Abstract
At a network element having a plurality of physical links configured to communicate traffic over a network to or from the network element, an uplink group is formed comprising the plurality of physical links, wherein the plurality of physical links comprise a first physical link and a second physical link. A plurality of classes of service are defined comprising a first class of service and a second class of service, wherein the first class of service and second class of service have bandwidth allocations on the first physical link. Traffic congestion is detected on the first physical link that exceeds a predetermined threshold for the first class of service. Traffic associated with one or more virtual machines associated with the first class of service on the first physical link is re-associated to the second physical link until the traffic congestion falls below the predetermined threshold.
