DISTRIBUTED LINK AGGREGATION METHOD AND NODE THEREFOR

摘要

A distributed link aggregation method and a node therefor, making possible the use of link aggregation technology in a distributed network. The method comprises: when a node in one network is successfully aggregated with a node in another network, the port to which the node is aggregated successfully is added to a group of successfully-aggregated ports saved in the node, and a link aggregation success information is sent to the other nodes in the network; each node receiving the link aggregation success information then updates, according to the link aggregation success information, the group of successfully-aggregated ports saved in said node. The node comprises an aggregation module, a record module, a notification module and an update module. The present method and node realize link aggregation in a distributed network, expand the field of application of link aggregation technology, and enable distributed networks to use link aggregation to increase link bandwidth, thereby facilitating network maintenance and management.
