ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for controlling link aggregation are provided. When a transmission path for transmitting data is established, it is detected whether an available bandwidth of a bearer link at a destination end of the transmission path to be established is sufficient for bearing the data to be transmitted. If not, it is determined whether the destination end has sufficient available aggregatable Ethernet links for bearing the data to be transmitted. If the destination end has sufficient available aggregatable Ethernet links for bearing the data to be transmitted, the destination end is notified to perform a link aggregation sufficient for bearing the data to be transmitted.
