摘要： A method and system (12a, 12b) for aggregating a plurality of link (L1, L2, L3, L4) to simulate a unitary connection among one or more nodes in a fibre channel system includes means for striping data frames across the link (28). One or more programmable hardware mechanisms (12a, 12b), operatively connectable to the links and to nodes (A1, A2, B1, B2) in the fabric are provided. A program for collecting information about variable link characteristics is included. Programmable hardware mechanisms provide in-order, delivery date, frames across the links (L1, L2, L3, L4) despite the variable link characteristics.
