Yesterday we played a bit with the concept of “bonding” — that is: binding two ethernet ports and act as slaves to one virtual adapter.
This way, we get double the bandwidth, that is 200Mbps, when using Mode zero, which does a round robin scheme.
Practically, we got over 200Mbps! 100Mbps should’ve given us 12MB/s, but instead we achieved 30.1 MB/s using bonding.
Finding the proper parameters for Ubuntu’s was not an easy task, and we found a few guides, unfortunately, none of them had full correct information! We had to collect stuff from each guide to make it work.
I’ll post the whole thing on a dedicated page, for those who are interested.
