Harris - All rights reserved MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org When using ethernet bonding, does it divide the load between the two based on connection, or packet by packet? In other words, if a single TCP connection were established between the two machines, would it be twice as fast -using both cables for a single file transfer lets say, or is it like SMP where it just means you can have twice as many connections, and any given connection would go only through a single cable, but multiple traffic will be load balanced between both? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Mike A.
