The Documentation/networking/bonding.txt file talks about VLAN offload
support and the bonding driver, but not TCP segmentation, UDP/TCP
checksum, etc, offloading. Is this supported by the bonding driver, and
if so, how is it configured?
If it matters, we are using bonding for HA/failover, not for bandwidth
aggregation.
Thanks!
Cheers,
Dan

The bonding driver generally provides all the offload features that all its
slave devices provide. You can configure this by using ethtool on the slave
devices.
