This could only work if the source hashing algorithm is round-robin or similar. Typically the path chosen is based on a hash of mac addresses, IP addresses, ports, or some combination thereof. See the -P option dladm(1M). Sun Trunking allowed round-robin but was generally frowned upon because it encourages out of order packet delivery thereby greatly increasing the expense of processing an incoming data stream. -- Mike Gerdts http://mgerdts.blogspot.com/ _______________________________________________ storage-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/storage-discuss
