Be careful there, EtherChannel is both a generic term for link bonding
as well as Cisco's term for their proprietary link bonding protocol,
also known as PaGP.

The true and correct name for 802.3ad link bonding is LACP - Link
Aggregation and Control Protocol. Any switch manufacturer that supports
IEEE standard link bonding will state either 802.3ad or LACP - or both -
on their data sheets.
