I suggest you google a little more. Channel bonding provides resilience. It can also provide additional performance, if you wish (degrading gracefully as you loose links). IPMP is a hack Sun created because their driver model couldn't handle true bonding - that has been fixed in Solaris 10, but only for certain drivers (many have yet to be ported to the new framework).
Surely You write of Sun trunking and the GLD V3 "Nemo" framework/drivers?
