LINK BUNDLING IN A NETWORK

摘要

A technique for bundling links (133, 134) is provided for increasing bandwidth and reducing latency. Two nodes (102, 104) in a network are configured to bundle two or more links connected between the two nodes. Data is transmitted between the two nodes by striping data over each link of the bundle (152). Data is transmitted in cells (210), and one or more cells are transmitted over each link of the bundle. The cells transmitted on one or more of the links include routing information (214).
