Re: more throughput if using more interfaces per machines ?
Your biggest issue here is that you need to make sure the interfaces are
acting as one. I believe the term is "binding". Basically you need the OS
to treat them as a single interface. It you are binding and getting the
same results try using 4 streams with (-P 4). For the UDP tests, are you
supplying a desired bandwidth with (-b)??
