General information

Link Aggregation is a method of aggregating multiple network connections in parallel in order to increase throughput beyond what a single connection could sustain and to provide redundancy in case one of the links should fail. A Link Aggregation combines a number of physical ports together to make a single high-bandwidth data path, so as to implement the traffic load sharing among the member ports in the group and to enhance the connection reliability.

LACP

Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) is a signaling protocol which provides a method to control the bundling of several physical ports together to form a single logical channel. LACP allows a network device to detect a faulty channel because this protocol sends special LACP packets to a peer. LACP has two standard drafts: old IEEE 802.3ad and new IEEE 802.1AX. LACP service messages are encapsulated directly into Ethernet frames, LACP does not use higher level protocols. The service messages are sent to the multicast MAC address 01-80-c2-00-00-02.
InfiNet Wireless devices have the full support of LACP according to the standard IEEE 802.3ad. Moreover, our devices support special proprietary an extension of LACP. LACP Fast mode increases efficiency and performance compared default mode. The fast mode provides next advantages: faster reaction to changes of links, intellectual estimation quality of the links, more accurate statistical data.

Load balancing

LAG consists of several physical interfaces. Devices need to determine which of the interfaces to send each received packet. All packets from the same data stream must be sent to one physical port to save an order of the stream. For example, TCP protocol can define a wrong order of the packets in the stream as a packet loss; a remote device may not be able to buffer packets for a long time and this will increase jitter and delay - lack of both of these distortions very important for VoIP protocol.

...

Radio link aggregation

The Infinet devices allow aggregate several radio links to increase summary throughput. Moreover, you can build Full Duplex link through TDMA.

Redundancy

Infinet devices support full 1 + 1 redundancy schemes. A hot reserve is provided by duplicating transmitting and receiving elements. It is possible to use a single frequency for the redundancy.

R5000

The configuration of LAG (LACP)

Description

The maximum throughput of a single port is limited to the standard 100Base-TX. The throughput of the radio module depending on the MCS and the channel width can be higher. R5000 devices of Lite series can achieve the maximum throughput up to 180 Mbps of the bi-directional aggregated stream. It is not possible to use the maximum throughput of the radio channel in one direction through one 100Base-TX port. However, the combination of ports into one LAG allows achieving the maximum throughput in one direction.

1. Create LAG interface
   
2. Add ports
   

3. Choose LACP (Standard or Fast mode). "Standard" LACP fully complies with the standard IEEE 802.3ad. “Fast” LACP uses only with Infinet devices and increases efficiency and performance compared default mode.

   Warning

   The "Fast" mode is a proprietary extension of the LACP protocol. Compatibility of this mode is guaranteed only with devices that support the MINT protocol.

Redundancy of a radio link using the same frequency or redundancy of a channel which built on another technology (Failover)

Description

Infinet R5000 devices have a functional redundancy of the channels. A hot standby might be created by using the Failover option. The Failover option does not depend on the method of data transmission on the main channel.The only condition is connectivity at level 2 between Infinet devices through both links.

The principle of operation is extremely simple. The Infinet device, on which the Failover option is configured, checks the availability of a specific MAC address through the primary link. If this MAC address is available, then the operation of the backup channel is blocked. The radio module stops broadcasting on the backup master. The standby slave device only listens to the radio while there is no signal from the master. Thus, the backup link can operate on the same frequency as the main one, but it does not have any influence on it. As soon as the monitored MAC address disappears in the main link, the backup link will be unlocked and traffic will begin to be transmitted over it. The process is completely automatic. However, the transition to a backup link is associated with a short-term idle time. Traffic will return automatically to the primary link as soon as the monitored MAC address appears in the primary link.

If the equipment used in the R5000 series is used as the main link, this gives additional advantages. In this case, both radio links can be configured with the Failover option. For both communication channels, the quality of the established connection will be automatically evaluated. Connection with the worst indicators will automatically become a backup channel. The channel selection parameters can be controlled manually.

You can also install two Infinet devices with a single antenna connection or similar frequency.

Redundancy of the radio link based on STP

Description

Infinet XG devices do not have software functionality for redundant links. However, you can create two redundant links on them with using third-party devices based on public technologies.

The simplest scheme will be the organization of two links established at the 2 level of OSI via two XG devices. STP protocol excludes loops. The traffic will be transmitted through one of the links, but if it breaks, it will go to the next one.

Unfortunately, in this case, the use of one frequency for two pairs of devices is not desirable.

Example

• Configure first radio link

• Configure STP (not included in the example)

Redundancy of the radio link based on LACP

Description

Infinet XG devices do not have software functionality for redundant links. However, you can create two redundant links on them with using third-party devices based on public technologies.

The simplest scheme will be the organization of two links established at the 2 level of OSI via two XG devices. LACP protocol excludes loops and allows to increase throughput.

Unfortunately, in this case, the use of one frequency for two pairs of devices is not desirable.

Example

• Configure first radio link

Redundancy of the radio link based on OSPF

Description

Infinet XG devices do not have software functionality for redundant links. However, you can create two redundant links on them with using third-party devices based on public technologies.

The simplest scheme will be the organization of two links established at the 3 level of OSI via two XG devices. OSPF protocol excludes loops and allows to increase throughput.

Unfortunately, in this case, the use of one frequency for two pairs of devices is not desirable.

Example
