You need to see how cisco does this with their high end switch products. They allow multiple ethernet connections to function as one big pipe, backup ethernet connections etc. [deleted] You probably wouldn't need to abstract it to a virtual devices. Having a flag you can set on an interface would be sufficient. ie: ifconfig 2 interfaces with the same IP, set an interface flag that specifys Active/Spare or Round-Robin. You may need to spoof MAC addresses; look at the cisco implementation for a reference. /* Matthew N.
