Link aggregation, or IEEE 802.3ad, is a method of combining physical network links into a single logical link for increased bandwidth. With Link aggregation we are able to increase the capacity and availability of the communications channel between devices (both switches and end stations) using existing Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet technology. Two or more Gigabit Ethernet connections are combined in order to increase the bandwidth capability and to create resilient and redundant links. A set of multiple parallel physical links between two devices is grouped together to form a single logical link.

Link Aggregation also provides load balancing where the processing and communications activity is distributed across the links in a trunk so that no single link is overwhelmed.
