The aggregation of two network channels into one virtual channel is
called "bonding" in the Linux world and "trunking" in the Cisco world.
When you want to use channel bonding/trunking, both sides of the wire
need to be compatible with this bonding/trunking. The sentence means
that Linux bonding is compatible with Cisco trunking.
And the last sentence means that, of course, Linux bonding works between
two Linux systems.
