Re: round-robin mode for AIX's etherchannel.

right but I am looking for a way to protect my server
from switch failures, if I could form an etherchannel
adapter with the round-robin policy using different
adapters and AIX detects whether the link is up or not
before using a particular link, I would be protected
and taking the most juice out of my NICs for the
outbound traffic, fixing the incoming traffic patterns
would be more interesting.

enrique.
