difference in etherchannel and multilink trunking

[jjoseph01]

Hello all. This may be a no so smart question, but is there a difference in etherchannel trunking over a link and multilink trunking? Thanks.

They are the same concept. The naming difference is due to the provider, Cisco implements the etherchanneling marketing name while Nortel implements the multilink trunking marketing name.
