Explanation

LACP (Link Aggregation Control Protocol) is a protocol used to combine multiple physical network links into a single logical link, known as a link aggregation group (LAG). This increases the overall bandwidth between two network devices, providing redundancy and load balancing for traffic across the aggregated links. LACP is part of the IEEE 802.1AX standard (formerly 802.3ad), and its primary purpose is to manage the aggregation of links to improve network performance and
