Significant improvements in terms of failover reliability and performance come with support for the standard LACP (Link Aggregation Control Protocol). LACP allows you to bundle GB ports into a virtual link. Physical GB connections can be combined to form a single logical connection, which greatly increases the speed of data transmission and makes optimal use of the available bandwidth.
Note: For example, 11ac Wave 2 (4x4 MIMO) achieves a data throughput greater than 1 Gbps net per access point.
Along with a real performance gain in the network, LACP is also an ideal redundancy option because, even if a physical connection fails, data traffic is still transmitted on the other line.
