ISO/IEC/IEEE International Standard - Information technology - Telecommunications and information exchange between systems - Local and metropolitan area networks - Specific requirements Part 1AX--Link Aggregation
Adoption Standard - Active.
Link Aggregation allows parallel point-to-point links to be used as if they were a single link and also supports the use of multiple links as a resilient load-sharing interconnect between multiple nodes in two separately administered networks.
This standard defines a MAC-independent Link Aggregation capability and provides general information relevant to specific MAC types.
Link Aggregation provides protocols, procedures, and managed objects that allow the following:
This standard defines the MAC-independent Link Aggregation capability and general information relevant to specific MAC types that support Link Aggregation.
The capabilities defined are compatible with previous versions of this standard.
Link Aggregation allows the establishment of full-duplex point-to-point links that have a higher aggregate bandwidth than the individual links that form the aggregation, and the use of multiple systems at each end of the aggregation.
This allows improved utilization of available links in bridged local area network (LAN) environments, along with improved resilience in the face of failure of individual links or systems.
In applications connecting separately administered networks, the networks are isolated from each other's fault recovery events.
