Everything about Link aggregation
Using multiple network connections in parallel to increase capacity and reliability
In computer networking, link aggregation is the combining of multiple network connections in parallel by any of several methods. Link aggregation increases total bandwidth beyond what a single connection could sustain, and provides redundancy where all but one of the physical links may fail without losing connectivity. A link aggregation group (LAG) is the combined collection of physical ports. Wikipedia →
