By the mid-1990s, most network switch manufacturers had included aggregation capability as a proprietary extension to increase bandwidth between their switches. By bundling multiple network connections into a single high-bandwidth link, aggregation switches help streamline traffic flow and reduce bottlenecks in enterprise or campus networks. Link aggregation increases total bandwidth beyond what a single connection could sustain, and provides redundancy where all but one of the physical links. Amounts or summary statistics are used in place of atomic data rows, which are often collected from several sources when data is aggregated.
