Hi there.

Does anyone have any real world experience with using Redhat as a Media
Server, with a quad port Gigabit NIC, using some kind of trunking on the
NIC? I'm trying to design a Media Server that will be able to receive data
quickly enough over IP to push a couple of fast tape drives, like LTO3. I'd
like to be able to reliably get 200 MB/s or more from the network.

I guess my questions are, is this realistic? And, how is the trunking done?
In the switch, or is Linux able to do it, like Solaris?

Thanks in advance for any insight.
