LAG stands for Link Aggregation Group
It’s about increasing the capacity of transmission system by combining multiple physical Ethernet Ports to be one logical interface
4i support higher capacity service with out the need for hardware upgrade
Also used to performance system redundancy and port backup
This technology controlled by LACP
LACP: Link Aggregation Control Protocol
This protocol help to send and receive control packets between devices to assign the LAG Ports and set the attributes and negotiate the speeds and other details of the LAG
LAG can be used in IP devices and microwave devices and also optical devices
