Too many LACP discussions lately. Here's what you need to know.
1) Link aggregation groups are an interesting way to boost network throughput. They're typically managed by a protocol called Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP). Link aggregation is designed to bundle several interfaces together to allow networking gear, servers, etc., to benefit from multiple links. Link aggregation can be used as master/standby for network redundancy, or it can be used to increase network bandwidth...
LACP ... friend or foe?
