Normally, the path cost of a port operating in full-duplex mode is slightly less than that of
the port operating in half-duplex mode.
When calculating the path cost of an aggregated link, the 802.1D-1998 standard does
not take the number of the ports on the aggregated link into account, whereas the
802.1T standard does. The following formula is used to calculate the path cost of an
aggregated link:
Path cost = 200,000/ link transmission speed.
