Port Trunk

Port trunk allows multiple links to be bundled together and act as a single physical link

for increased throughput. It provides load balancing, and redundancy of links in a

switched inter-network. Actually, the link does not have an inherent total bandwidth

equal to the sum of its component physical links. Traffic in a trunk is distributed across

an individual link within the trunk in a deterministic method that called a hash algorithm.

Traffic pattern on the network should be considered carefully before you apply it. When

a proper hash algorithm is used, traffic is kind of randomly decided to be transmitted

across either link within the trunk and load balancing will be seen.
