Link aggregation
Me again Smilie

I'm trying to find a page describing the L2, L3 und L4 modes of dladm.

It's nice to read "hashed by ip header", but how should I use that?

On the file-server it's ok to have the six interfaces serving six clients each on it's own. But an rsync connection via switch between two machines still uses only one link, is that true?

I dont undersatnd the logic behind your question. Of course a single link is used. What are you actually asking?Smilie

Would you mind telling me the difference between link aggregation and trunking? As I thought it's the same?

AFAIK trunking and link aggregation are the same for the solaris/opensolaris context

just be sure, that your particular NIC driver supports it, and take a closer look at link-aggregation articles, like this in particular

ok ok, I probably haven't expressed it clearly enough:

I have set up two interfaces with link aggregation and they work just fine!

But: When I start an rsync process or scp or whatever similar, it only uses one physical interface. So what I am looking for is a way, to distribute traffic from a single process, e.g. rsync, to both interfaces.
