Network Configuration

Bonding

English

Overview

A feature that bundles multiple network interfaces together for redundancy or higher throughput.

Details

A feature that logically combines multiple physical interfaces into one, achieving bandwidth aggregation and failover in the event of a fault. Modes range from active-backup, aimed purely at redundancy, to round-robin or 802.3ad, which spread load across multiple links -- the right choice depends on whether the goal is redundancy or extra bandwidth.
