IP Multicast
Routing
The switches can use IP multicasting to allow a single IP host to
transmit a packet to a group of IP hosts. The switch softwre supports
multicast routes that are learned by way of the Distance Vector
Multicast Routing Protocol (DVMRP) or Protocol Independent
Multicast-Dense Mode (PIM-DM).

Load Sharing
Load sharing allows you to increase bandwidth and resilience by
using a group of ports to carry traffic in parallel between systems.
The sharing algorithm allows the switch to use multiple ports as a
single logical port. For example, VLANs see the load-sharing group as
a single virtual port. The algorithm also guarantees packet
sequencing between clients.
