WAN aggregation (also known as multilink or link integration) is a process that links different devices with different ISPs or modems into one connection. Each device receives the same amount of data traffic. The process takes place with the help of a protocol known as Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP).

The LACP links the devices and monitors the process. Depending on your preference, you can configure LACP to operate in either passive or active mode.
