Hi all, some general questions on the subject and a SuSE-specific one. I have a network which requires very good performance. There is a file server and several clients, each of which moves very large data (GBs) around. As long as only one client accesses the server, performance is good, but when several clients at once access the server, performance drops. As would be expected. General questions: Is it possible to improve the server's network performance by adding a second GBit ethernet card? I think a PCI card is bound by the PCI bus performance. Would a second card, if PCI, even enhance performance noticeably? If I upgrade to PCIe, or use a mainboard with onboard GBit ethernet, would that change anything? So far, I was thinking in terms of using different subnets hanging on different ethernet ports on the server. Provided that both GBit cards have full performance, if clients on different subnets both wold get the full performance of a GBit card. Am I right? Now the SuSE question. The solution with two separate subnets is, of course, somewhat suboptimal. Does SuSE Linux provide a way to use a sort of channel bundling, so that the full network can benefit on the advantages of having two network adapters on the server? How would I do that? Thanks, Helge
