Not without hacking the kernel drivers. The system quite intentionally doesn't support such a thing, because it usually results in substantially degraded performance due to both packet reordering and (on the receiver's side) interrupt, cache, and lock contention. I wouldn't be much surprised, with high-speed links, to see the performance drop to less than what you get by putting all the traffic over one link. But if it's worth it to you to try, then by all means, change the driver and publish the results. ;-} -- James Carlson 42.703N 71.076W <carls...@workingcode.com> _______________________________________________ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
