The main aim of this paper is to propose a comprehensive load-balancing model that can be applied for all types of networks. The proposed model is based on dividing the load regularly among the links and the communication between devices will be controlled. Consequently, EtherChannel reduces part of the binary pattern, so the addresses in the frame create a numerical value which selects one of the links. This selection aims to distribute frames across the particular link in a channel by modifying
the Cisco−proprietary hashing algorithm. The results show that the proposed solution avoid overload on the link that is leading to loss packet at the same time there is a free space in another link, minimize packet delay, reduce congestion and enhance the work of network efficiency and reliability.
