Bonding is working fine, but the performance is rather poor. FTP between 2 machines ( kernel 2.4.4 and 4 port DLink 100Mbit ethernet card) results in a transfer rate of 3MB/s). Any Hints? here is my setup for the channel bonding insmod bonding insmod tulip ifconfig bond0 192.168.100.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.100.255 ifconfig bond0 down ./ifenslave -v bond0 eth2 eth3 eth4 eth5 ifconfig bond0 up route add -host 192.168.100.1 dev bond0 Many thanks for every help Bernhard -- Dr. Bernhard Busch Max-Planck-Institut für Biochemie Am Klopferspitz 18a D-82152 Martinsried Tel: +48(89)8578-2582 Fax: +49(89)8578-2479 Email bbusch@biochem.mpg.de
