Fast EtherChannel
Fast EtherChannel (FEC) is a performance technology developed by Cisco Systems to increase a system's network throughput.
Unlike ALB, FEC can be configured to increase both transmission and reception channels between your NAS system and switch.
FEC works only with compatible Cisco switches. To use FEC, the Ethernet ports of the NAS system must be linked to the same
Cisco FEC-compatible switch.
IEEE 802.3ad
IEEE 802.3ad is a performance technology standard that increases a system's network throughput. IEEE 802.3ad is similar to
the FEC standard developed by Cisco. However, whereas FEC works only with FEC-compatible Cisco switches, IEEE 802.3ad
works with all switches that support IEEE 802.3ad. To use IEEE 802.3ad, the Ethernet ports of the NAS system must be linked to
the same IEEE 802.3ad switch.
