It was attached to a Nortel Baystack 450 running a 2 port "Multinlink Trunk" Configuration. It worked absolutely flawlessly. When downloading a single 60MB file to 3 clients by FTP, it achieved ~21 MB/sek output (netstat -I fec0 -w10). I had to use 3 clients due to lack of a second speedy client. I'm impressed. Am I right that a single transfer is always limited to the bandwidth of a single interface? The above mentioned Switch and Linux ditribute traffic in a round robbing manner. Both cooperate with Cisco's Etherchannel (tested against a Catalyst 2924). How about adding a round robbing distribution, too? This is epecially usefull for getting higher throughput when traffic mostly takes place between 2 hosts.
