Re: bridging two ethernet devices on openmosix == doubles network speed ?

Tat-
  Your are wanting to do channel bonding and that will make the
network interconnect much faster. You will need a switch for each
channel of the bonded network. Simply bridging the nodes together will
not have the desired effect and also be very messy. The configuration
you have sketched out would in fact most likely be slower that just
using one nic per node and a switch as there will not be a direct
route to none adjacent nodes.
