Bonding copper circuits for increased Ethernet bandwidth The key innovation in EFM is the loop bonding of multiple copper circuits to provide increased bandwidth. By intelligently distributing traffic across multiple circuits, using very high-efficiency hardware processing, these multiple circuits appear to the network as a single, high-bandwidth link, overcoming the limitations of individual copper circuits.
