In this example, does the xl0 interface share the same MAC address? How does this share the bandwidth over the interfaces? Just guessing, but, I'd venture to guess that each interface has its own mac and each interface responds to ARP requests with its own mac... what I don't understand is how the ARP requests are handled. Is it just a 1st come, 1st serve? By that I mean that the interface that responds first wins? I thought the switch had an ARP table and that you couldn't have multiple mac's per IP.... I'm confused as to how this'd work. :) If there's one MAC address that's shared/spoofed by the netgraph interface, then how does the switch decide what port to send the data out of?
