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.
