Abstract
According to some embodiments, the switching units of a single domain ('first domain') discover that they are connected to switching units of another, 'second domain', and the switching units of each domain configure a single LAG of inter-domain links each of which interconnects switching units of different domains. The LAG connects multiple switching units of the first domain to multiple switching units of the second domain.
