Re: [opensuse] Is the a list of Switches that support link bonding?

James Knott wrote:
IIRC, the device that needs the bonding is the one that's configured for
it. For example, if you wanted to connect a switch to use a broadband
connection that supports more bandwidth than a single switch port
supports, you'd use bonding. You'd do the same at the far end, but not
any device in between. Don't forget, bonded or not, it's just packets
that are passed by intermediate switches.

Well what I'm talking about is a link-level issue that most certainly
does NOT pass through devices. It needs to be resolved at each switch in
order to maintain packet ordering and suchlike. Perhaps there's more
than one facility that can be described as 'bonding'.
