I suspect doing something with netgraph and the ng_eiface node. The eiface node would be the virtual interface and it's output would go to the input of the sending card. The output of the recieving card would go to the other one. I think that would work. If I remember my Ethernet basics correctly, it won't work perfectly because of the delay before sending another packet but I think it will work. I am wondering why you want to do this rather then useing Bill Paul's EtherChannel module to bond a couple links since most applications aren't symetric bandwidth users all the time. http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=448009+451351+/usr/local/www/db/text/2001/freebsd-net/20010211.freebsd-net -- Brooks -- Any statement of the form "X is the one, true Y" is FALSE.
