I have a Linux master/media server with a single connection to a backup network
via gigabit that I will  be migrating to a bonding in a day or two.  I have seen
the single link with 3 or 4 streams to separate clients push an average of 80 
megabytes/sec
and peak much higher.   Ping me next week and I'll let you know what I saw with
bonding.  This is against Extreme switchs, not Cisco, but the same should hold 
true.

Thanks
Peter
