Centos link aggregation

What is Link Aggregation

Bonding is the same as port trunking. In the following I will use the word bonding because practically we will bond interfaces as one.

Bonding allows you to aggregate multiple ports into a single group, effectively combining the bandwidth into a single connection. Bonding also allows you to create multi-gigabit pipes to transport traffic through the highest traffic areas of your network. For example, you can aggregate three megabits ports into a three-megabits trunk port. That is equivalent with having one interface with three megabytes speed.
