(You shouldn't.) > Well with the traditional Ethernet, it didn't make much sense to connect multiple interfaces to the same wire - you don't expect both interfaces together to deliver any more than 10Mbps. However, with switched Ethernet, both interfaces can deliver the full b/w. So why not get the advantages of getting this higher b/w as well as full one on one connectivity between hosts connected to the Ethernet ? - Mohit To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
