    Question

    Hello,

    I try to do this NIC-to-NIC bonding with 802.3ad bond too, but replication only use 1 port! What is wrong?
    regards,

    802.3ad will give only redundancy and not more performance for a single connection. However, if you use 802.3ad with multiple hosts, you will probably gain some more performance, but for a single connection between two hosts, you'll never get a speed bump.
