Interface bundling

This table contains the settings for bundling the physical and logical interfaces.

By bundling interfaces, it is possible to transmit data packets on two paired interfaces. To do this, the device duplicates outgoing data packets and transmits them on each of the two interfaces simultaneously. When receiving packets, the device accepts the first incoming packets; duplicates are detected and discarded by the device.

Using interface bundling makes it possible to reduce packet failure rates and latency times for data transmissions, although this does reduce the maximum bandwidth of the corresponding interface.
