Thank you to Ian who replied off list with an example of an unproblematic implementation of exactly this. I'm more calm now. :-) On Mon, 2009-03-23 at 19:09 -0400, Jeff Kell wrote: AFAIK, etherchannel will select one physical path per flow (based on src/dst ip/mac), so there is no out-of-order

Hi, We have some bandwidth issues between two sites, experiencing out discards on interfaces. The connection is currently between 2+2 switchports in WS-X6516-GBIC cards and they're connected by ~4 km SM connection with LX GBICs. The redundancy is blocked by STP. To increase bandwidth in a cost
