Hello, The following set of 7(+2) patches add support for 802.3ad link aggregation mode on top of the latest release of bonding from source-forge (2.4.20-20030317). They also handle a set of bug fixes that were discovered during the past several weeks of an extensive testing effort done by our QA group. This comes as one of several enhancements Intel has decided to contribute to the open source community. This code is ported from our iANS product which has been around for some time. We are in the process of porting our advanced networking features from iANS to the bonding driver. In future releases we plan to add more features, improvements and adapting the code for 2.5.x kernels. The first 2 patches add support for point-to-point protocols to the 2.4.20/2.4.21-pre5 kernels in the net subtree, and are a pre-requisite for the 802.3ad feature. The following patches only modify the bonding files. -- | Shmulik Hen | | Israel Design Center (Jerusalem) | | LAN Access Division | | Intel Communications Group, Intel corp. | | | | Anti-Spam: shmulik dot hen at intel dot com | - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
