Why do switches perform port aggregation

Ethernet port aggregation, also known as link aggregation, is a networking technique that combines multiple physical network ports into a single logical port. It is commonly used to increase bandwidth, improve network performance, and provide redundancy in case of link failure. Port aggregation is not supported on most UniFi Gateways; it is only supported on the EFG, UXG Enterprise, UDM Pro, UDM SE and UDM Pro Max. It enhances bandwidth, provides fault tolerance, and allows load balancing between connected devices.

Link aggregation offers an inexpensive way to set up a high-capacity backbone network that transfers multiple times more data than any single port or device can deliver. Link aggregation also allows the network''s backbone speed to grow incrementally as demand on the network increases, without having to replace everything and deploy new hardware. Most backbone installations install more cabling or fiber optic pairs than is initially necessary. This is d
