Link Aggregation provides protocols, procedures, and managed objects that allow the following: – One or more parallel instances of point-to-point links to be aggregated together to form a Link Aggregation Group (LAG) so that a Link Aggregation Client can treat the LAG as if it were a single link. – Conversation-Sensitive Collection and Distribution (CSCD) that specifies a means to identify the distribution algorithm in use to assign frames to individual links in a LAG and to convey that information to the System at the other end of the LAG. – Distributed Resilient Network Interface (DRNI) that enables a LAG to terminate at a pair of cooperating Systems in order to provide system-level as well as link-level resiliency.
