<div>Keep in mind, bonding nics does not magically give you n+x

<div>By nature of the technology, there are flow hashes created
off source/dest mac, ip, or port, that keeps your flows
"stuck" to a particular computes hash path. So if you have a
single tcp connection with same source, destination, and port
(ie backup or cifs filer session), it will NOT balance across
multiple pipes, but rather will just fill one of n in the link
aggregation bundle. There are bond settings to control this,
but will still ultimately be a limitation whether you're
talking a linux server or a high-end cisco nexus switch. This
works great only when you're a service provider with lots of
little connections to spread out, not so much a few major
blasts.<br>

<div>This is a popular misconception among non-networking folks
that simply bonding multiple circuits gives your more
bandwidth, but entirely not the case. If you need more than
100mb, you 1gb. If you need more than 1gb, you go 10gb, etc.
Bonding is more for redundancy than throughput imho.</div>
