The most interesting feature of 802.3ah are: OAM - Operations and maintenance: o detailed link failure indication o MAC layer ping (Ethernet ping on layer2) o remote loopback control for diagnostics purposes o link monitoring x this is applicable to the generic ethernet layer Ethernet Link aggregation o aggregation of links with differing speeds and latency o ordered delivery of frames o dynamic discovery and addition/removal of links o http://www.ieee802.org/3/efm/baseline/fosmark_1_0302.pdf -- Andre
