Questions tagged [bonding]

"bonding" is the Linux-term for link aggregation.

Cisco terminiolgy is "etherchannel", other vendors may talk about "trunking".

The idea is to use several pyhsical lines in the same (sub)network or VLAN and load-balance the traffic across these lines.

To make it work both "ends" need to use the same LB-mode.

Ubuntu Bridge network interfaces on 4 port gigabit card

I've seen this on the internet before. I have a Ubuntu server with a 4 port gigabit network card. I would like to bridge the interfaces so that, if an interface is busy, the packets will go through an interface that isn't being used. thanks

What is "currently active slave" in Linux bonding & adaptive load balancing

My understanding of adaptive load balancing for NIC bonding was that it would dynamically abuse ARP requests to cause traffic ingress and outgress to come from different slaves to attempt to optimize traffic. However, a "currently active slave"…
