Tony Bourke of The Data Center Overlords comments:
In a previous article, I discussed the somewhat pedantic question: “What’s the difference between EtherChannel and port channel?” The answer, as it turns out, is none. EtherChannel is mostly an IOS term, and port channel is mostly an NXOS term. But either is correct.
But I did get one thing wrong. I was using the term LAG incorrectly. I had assumed it was short for Link Aggregation (the umbrella term of most of this). But in fact, LAG is short for Link Aggregation Group, which is a particular instance of link aggregation, not the umbrella term. So wait, what do we call the technology that links links together?
A very good primer on link aggregation from Tony. Also meets the FDA daily requirement for memes and animated GIFs.
