What it shows

  • IEEE 802.3ad bonds physical links into one high-throughput logical trunk.
  • Traffic is distributed across members using IP/port 5-tuple hash algorithms.
  • Individual link failures maintain session continuity without STP recalculation.

The takeaway

LACP doubles your usable switch bandwidth while eliminating failover convergence delays.
