Introduction

PICOS-powered Ethernet switches use Multi-Chassis Link Aggregation (MLAG) technology to connect devices, enabling each one to connect to a pair of Pica8 switches with all links running active/active to improve resiliency. There’s no need to block certain links, as with the spanning tree protocol (STP), resulting in improved bandwidth utilization and performance. With STP, while redundant links may exist between switches, traffic can only flow over one of them at a time, which effectively cuts the amount of available bandwidth in half. MLAG still supports redundancy, however, because peer switches synchronize forwarding state between them, so if a leaf or spine switch fails, traffic is automatically rerouted for continuous uptime.
