Description / Abstract:
This corrigendum to IEEE Std 802.1AX-2014 corrects minor errors, bugs, ambiguities, omissions and inconsistencies that have been identified by the 802.1 maintenance activity. It does not contain new material.
Purpose of the project:
Link Aggregation allows the establishment of full-duplex point-to-point links that have a higher aggregate bandwidth than the individual links that form the aggregation, and the use of multiple systems at each end of the aggregation. This allows improved utilization of available links in bridged local area network (LAN) environments, along with improved resilience in the face of failure of individual links or systems. In applications connecting separately administered networks, the networks are isolated from each other's fault recovery events.
