RTT to me but there is no promise about > packet order. My guess is that they are doing round-robin load balancing, instead of per-flow load balancing. You may not have access to the link's config, but do you have someone that you could ask to change the load-sharing algorithm? (I expect you've thought of this, but figured I'd ask). If they are doing this with the idea that one could get more than an E1's worth of bandwidth out of a single flow, it sounds like they are misguided.... --eli > > I just get a 100Mb ethernet cable. > > > > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-net@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-net > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-net-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" > --==_Exmh_697650595P Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (FreeBSD) Comment: Exmh version 2.5 07/13/2001 iD8DBQFB5c9RLTFEeF+CsrMRArb0AKDotRfTeaJYAU8ADh6qAvHQwIOhnQCffDri El1W146ZwRwbdEN6Kd1G4A0= =N3sy -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --==_Exmh_697650595P--
