Thanks for the reply. You saved me hours of fighting with it.

Keep in mind, bonding nics does not magically give you n+x throughput...
By nature of the technology, there are flow hashes created off
source/dest mac, ip, or port, that keeps your flows "stuck" to a
particular computes hash path. So if you have a single tcp connection
with same source, destination, and port (ie backup or cifs filer
session), it will NOT balance across multiple pipes, but rather will
just fill one of n in the link aggregation bundle. There are bond
settings to control this, but will still ultimately be a limitation
whether you're talking a linux server or a high-end cisco nexus
switch. This works great only when you're a service provider with
lots of little connections to spread out, not so much a few major blasts.
This is a popular misconception among non-networking folks that simply
bonding multiple circuits gives your more bandwidth, but entirely not
the case. If you need more than 100mb, you 1gb. If you need more
than 1gb, you go 10gb, etc. Bonding is more for redundancy than
throughput imho.

You are still limited by the pipe and the sending/receiving box.
It’s probably not gonna work like you think. You will most likely
slow your connection down.

Try it out and report back.

My computer has 100 megabit ethernet on the motherboard. I've
disabled that so I can use the gigabit ethernet card I added. If
I were to bond those adapters, could i get 1.1 gigabit? How
would I do this?
thanks
