The Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) provides a standardized means for
exchanging information between Partner Systems on a link to allow their Link Aggregation
Control instances to reach agreement on the identity of the Link Aggregation Group to
which the link belongs, move the link to that Link Aggregation Group, and enable its
