Here is something I think would be very helpful for a lot of people. I have
found this under many different names and will list them all. What I am
looking to do is tie together for instance 2 network cards thus providing a
load-balancing solution for a single server. I see this as being helpful in
a high bandwidth environment such as the AK Frag Fest I am hosting. I also
beleive that this would make a server with a lower hardware profile work
much faster on the network. The problem lies here though...how do you set it
up? I found 1 document online, and it talkes about compiling Kernel support
for the feature in Linux. The names I have come up with are:
Ethernet Bonding
Network device bonding
Port bonding(Which is ISDN based I found)
NIC Teaming
And someone else thought it was called 'Trunking'
If anyone has any knowledge on setting up such a feature it would be very
helpful for me. In Linux or Windows for that matter.
