Hi,

may be there are some best practice suggestions for the "best mode" for
channel bonding interface?

Or in other words, when should/would I use which mode?

E.g. I do have some fileservers connected to the users lan and to some
ISCSI Storages. Or some Webservers only connected to the LAN. The
switches are all new cisco models.

I've read sone docs (1), (2) and (3) so the theory is mostly clear.

Thanks for any suggestion or hint,

Best regards,

	Götz
