Both Duralink64 Port Aggregation and Cisco's Fast
EtherChannel are proprietary. Cisco's Fast EtherChannel
focuses on increasing bandwidth between Cisco switches
while Adaptec's Port Aggregation focuses on increasing
bandwidth between server and switch connections, to increase
server availability to clients. Each port on Cisco's Fast
EtherChannel module can be configured to Fast EtherChannel
mode or Fast Ethernet mode. (Fast EtherChannel mode allows
you to group up to four ports from one Fast EtherChannel
module to another Fast EtherChannel module in different
Cisco switches.)
