802.1AX-2014 - Link Aggregation Revision

The full title of this PAR is "Standard for Local and Metropolitan Area Networks - Link Aggregation".

Link Aggregation provides protocols, procedures, and managed objects that allow:

  1. One or more parallel instances of full duplex point-to-point links, operating at the same data rate, to be aggregated together to form a Link Aggregation Group, such that a Medium Access Control (MAC) Client can treat the Link Aggregation Group as if it were a single link.
  2. A resilient interconnect using multiple links among one or more nodes in a network and one or more nodes in another, separately administered, network, along with a means to ensure that frames belonging to any given service will use the same physical path in both directions between the two networks.
  3. This standard defines the MAC independent Link Aggregation capability, and general information relevant to specific MAC types that support Link Aggregation. The capabilities defined are compatible with previous versions of this standard.

The purpose of this amendment is to enhance Link Aggregation so that a set of physical and/or virtual bridge components or end stations provide a redundant connection between two separately administered networks. The DRNI enables the independence of the networks' management and control protocols, isolates each from the other's fault recovery events, and can forward data frames belonging to any given service over the same physical path in both directions between the two networks.

There is a need to enhance Link Aggregation, its protocols, procedures and managed objects, to provide a resilient interconnect using multiple links among one or more nodes in a network and one or more nodes in another, separately administered, network.
