(though I can't guarantee that) Is there support for 802.3ad in FreeBSD? This would be the best way to gang interfaces together in a standard fashion. It involves LACP (Link Aggregation Control Protocol), which prevents loops @ L2 (I think its an extension of STP). Packet reordering is also solved (the simple round robin scheme achieves rather poor performance due to this problem). Another way to do it is with OSPF ECMP (Equal-Cost Multipath Routing), depends on whether you think L2 is cool or L3 :) --don ([EMAIL PROTECTED] www.sandvine.com) To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
