Re: [Security Firewall] trying to understand bonding

Hi there,

The MNF bonding section refers to ethernet channel bonding and NOT to
DSL/modem/ISDN bonding.

For more reading about this:

/usr/src/linux/Documentation/networking/bonding.txt
http://linux-ip.net/html/ether-bonding.html
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/marcelo/linux-2.4/Documentation/networking/bonding.txt
http://www.linux-corner.info/bonding.html

I wanted to also add Julian Anastasov's patches to the kernel but
didn't have time for this ...

here you have the details :
