Bonding with crossover cables

[budy]

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.

And with balance-rr and two crossover cable NIC-to-NIC can i expect to have better performance ?
