A port that joins a dynamic aggregation group after the Selected port limit has been reached is

placed in Selected state if it is more eligible to be selected than a current member port.

Load sharing criteria for link aggregation groups

In a link aggregation group, traffic may be load-shared across the selected member ports based on a set

of criteria, depending on your configuration.
You can choose one of the following criteria or any combination of the criteria for load sharing:

Per-flow load sharing—Classifies traffic flows by source or destination MAC address,
source/destination port number, ingress port, source or destination IP address, or MPLS label, or

any combination of them, and forwards packets of the same flow on the same link.

Packet type-based load sharing—Automatically chooses link-aggregation load sharing criteria
based on packet types (Layer 2, IPv4, MPLS, or IPv6 for example).
