Hi - Just curious if anyone has successfully tried trunking 2 or more 802.11b nics yet(?) I downloaded an eval copy of Nic Express - http://www.ipmetrics.com/ipms/NICExpress.htm
I loaded it up on a W2K laptop but since I only had one Orinoco pc card I had to cluster it with a 100baseT nic (although this is discouraged in the docs) Seemed to work..not really confident as I don't have a robust test environment here. Theoretically though, I should be able to get 22Mbs and 33Mbs connections if I went out and bought 2 more hubs and maxed out all the available 11b spectrum. Also, I _believe_ the Nic Express product does support stateful, yet non-sticky tcp sessions - unlike some load balancing products that route between nics based on cookie or session ID. If I am correct, it handles the balancing at layer 2...not sure. Could be even more fun with 11a hardware - 54Mbs X 8 channels = 432Mbs (raw speed) Fun, Fun David Rhodes Proxinet Ltd. 58 Queensway #49 London W2 3RW United Kingdom www.proxinet.co.uk -- general wireless list, a bawug thing <http://www.bawug.org/> [un]subscribe: http://lists.bawug.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless
