striping

1. Short for data striping.

   Also known as RAID Level 0 or RAID 0, striping is a mapping technique in which fixed-size consecutive ranges of virtual disk data addresses are mapped to successive array members in a cyclic pattern.

2. A network technique for aggregating the data transfer rates of several links between the same pair of nodes.

   A single data stream can be spread across the links for higher aggregate data transfer rate. Sometimes called port aggregation.
