Improving network perfomance

[Fabio DellaCorte <iloveyoumaryanna@gmail.com>]

Hello everybody ,

i'm tryng to use two network device for improving performance as describe in http://wiki.debian.org/Bonding and http://www.debianadmin.com/linux-ethernet-bonding-configuration.html .

I have two problem :

1)I don't see performance increase trying with ftp

2) i have used round roubin balance in in the first test  and now with balance-alb but i still see in /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/mode "balance-rr 0"

/etc/interfaces :

# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system # and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5). # The loopback network interface auto lo iface lo inet loopback auto bond0 iface bond0 inet static address 10.172.184.13 netmask 255.255.255.224 network 10.172.184.0 gateway 10.172.184.1 up /sbin/ifenslave bond0 eth0 up /sbin/ifenslave bond0 eth1 bond_mode 6
