摘要: A network system dynamically controls data flow between physical links by logically combining multiple into a single logical channel trunk, preferably to balance carried each link. Each link in the trunk has identical layer and media access control characteristics. server assigns address trunked channel, randomly hashing destination addresses for links. The includes, addition layer, pseudo-driver software disposed therebetween, which functions as multiplexer receive path de-multiplexer transmit path. resultant Ethernet-compatible operates full-duplex mode distributes packets from preserve temporal order of flow.
