Re: [Veritas-bu] Sun Trunking vs. Redhat Linux ???

Echoing Peter, I have used the linux bponding with LACP on the switch
to bond 2 gige linls together and was able to get 1800 Mb/s through
them on a Sun x4200.  One thing to watch out for is your inter switch
trunks.  We also had to upgrade our interswitch trunks, but I assume
your network is already designed to handle this kind of traffic.
