Every time I see it referenced, I keep remembering a reasonably reliable Nortel implementation called Split MLT (Multi Link Trunk). Is there something fancy here that I'm missing in the docs or am I wrong in equating the two? Isn't VPC just S/MLT? It's just that Cisco has shown up 8 years late and is trying to hype it up to compensate?vpc/vlt/mlag/s/mlt
I am using the Brocade version, Multi Chassis Trunking (MCT), and it really does make things a lot nicer. -- Leigh Porter ______________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned by the Symantec Email Security.cloud service.
