Multi-Point Link Aggregation Key Benefits

Data Center

• Redundancy + Load sharing at Layer 2

  • FDDI-like dual-homing with load sharing

• All links and switches are active and carry traffic

• Fast fail-over

  • if a link or trunk switch failure occurs, traffic is rerouted around failure

• L3 protocol transparent

• Leverages Link Aggregation capability

• Typical application: 48Gbps high availability Ethernet core
