.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
Update the value of the matched variable, using parameter values from a
newly received lacpdu. Parameter values for the partner carried in the
received PDU are compared with the corresponding operational parameter
values for the actor. Matched is set to TRUE if all of these parameters
match and the PDU parameter partner_state.aggregation has the same value as
actor_oper_port_state.aggregation and lacp will actively maintain the link
in the aggregation. Matched is also set to TRUE if the value of
actor_state.aggregation in the received PDU is set to FALSE, i.e., indicates
an individual link and lacp will actively maintain the link. Otherwise,
matched is set to FALSE. LACP is considered to be actively maintaining the
link if either the PDU's actor_state.lacp_activity variable is TRUE or both
the actor's actor_oper_port_state.lacp_activity and the PDU's
partner_state.lacp_activity variables are TRUE.
