Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, I am writing to ask how one increases the network throughput of a FreeBSD server, or perhaps the question is how does one take advantage of multiple interfaces ? Since I think the BSD kernels don't stripe packets (destined for the same location) over all available interfaces, it seems to me that the options are 1 Layer 2 aggregation. The interface driver round robins all packets for the destination among the available interfaces. 2 Running a prototocol like OSPF on the server that is able to use all available interfaces that lead to the destination. Thank you, Yours sincerely.
