This part I don't agree with. One trap I almost fell into was just looking at the raw numbers of bytes transmitted for each interface. Then I realized that a fair amount of traffic flows over one of the interfaces before the bonding happens, because of the way I was testing. So, I took note of the numbers, ran a test (14MB or so), and took the delta of before and after. When I did that, the numbers were almost identical. This was true of both the round robin and xor modes.
