'''Distributed Multi-Link Trunking (DMLT)''' or Distributed MLT is a [[computer networking]] [[Protocol (computing)|protocol]] designed by [[Nortel]] (now acquired by [[Avaya]]) used to load balance the network traffic across connections and also across multiple switches or modules in a chassis. The protocol is an enhancement to the [[Multi-Link Trunking (MLT)]] protocol.
DMLT allows the ports in a trunk (MLT) to span multiple units of a stack of switches or to span multiple cards in a chassis, preventing network outages when one switch in a stack fails or a card in a chassis fails.
