Depending on how the hash function works out, trunking might not help there. What isn't clear yet is whether the problem is caused by the *link* being overloaded, or the *firewalls* being overloaded. Stephan, it might be interesting to run systat vm .2 on an active firewall while the big TSM transfer is taking place, look at cpu use, interrupts/sec etc.
