Please help. Take a look at ng_fec, it implements Cisco's EtherChannel. ng_one2many can also be used to bond two or more interfaces, but keep in mind that it is not based on any standard and it will handle of course only outgoing traffic since incoming traffic must be handled from the remote side, the ethernet switch. There are plenty of choices to implement such a thing, beyond those two approaches... If you want some ideas, please state your needs. Nikos
