NOTE:
When it calculates path cost for an aggregate interface, IEEE 802.1t takes into account the number of
Selected ports in its aggregation group, but IEEE 802.1d-1998 does not. The calculation formula of IEEE
802.1t is: Path cost = 200,000,000/link speed (in 100 kbps), where link speed is the sum of the link speed
values of the Selected ports in the aggregation group.
