Thank Jon, this is much clear to me now. I'm not good at naming.
For topology with 2 down link devices, 1 client, I plan to name it
bond_topo_2d1c.sh. So 3 down links devices, 2 clients will be
bond_topo_3d2c.sh. If there is no switch between server and client, it could
be bond_topo_2d1c_ns.sh.

I'm not sure if the name is weird to you. Any comments?

Thanks
