In which case, an appropriate test would be to have several servers push data to one the server while it's interface is un-bonded. We'd anticipate that the results would be under 1000Mbps. Then do the same with the bonded interface and the results would hopefully be more consistently around 1000Mpbs. So I should not expect fastest throughput, simply a fatter pipe?
If it matters these are the hashing options available on the switch:

Src MAC, VLAN, EType, incoming port
Dest MAC, VLAN, EType, incoming port
Src/Dest MAC, VLAN, EType, incoming port
Src IP and Src TCP/UDP Port fields
Dest IP and Dest TCP/UDP Port fields
Src/Dest IP and TCP/UDP Port fields Enhanced hashing mode

Does anyone have any thoughts? I pasted some details below increase they have a bearing.
Remember that LACP (802.3ad) uses a hash algorithm (configurable on how it's carried out and whether you use mac addresses, dst/src IPs and ports will vary quite often for optimisation) to pick a physical connection for the TCP flow ... and that will stay over the physical connection.
As such for any one given flow you'll see up to the speed of the physical interface the data is going over... the speed increases come with multiple systems communicating with that server and with the right pick of hashing function having those connections go over differing interfaces. _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
