To fill the gap between 1G, 10G or 100G ports, Digital Realty also offers aggregated Gigabit Ethernet ports. Link aggregation allows for bundling of up to eight links into one virtual port towards the shared fabric. Link aggregation is also known as EtherChannel, Port Channel, port aggregation (PAgP) or trunking, depending on the vendor involved.
