Link Aggregation
This chapter describes WeOS support for link aggregation (IEEE 802.3ad/802.1AX[ 13 ]).
With link aggregation, two or more Ethernet links can be bundled and treated as
a single MAC entity by the upper layer protocols. The primary use is to achieve
redundancy in layer-2 bus topologies. A coarse form of load balancing is also
provided, but only if different traffic flows are mapped to different aggregate
member links.
WeOS supports the standard Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP[ 13 ]) for
aggregation control, but also static aggregation control, where the active set of
member links is solely determined based on their link up/down state.
