Re: [cobalt-users] Function of second ethernet port on Raq3i - can it distribute load?

["Jake Smith" <jake@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Well one ethernet port would max out at 1 meg per sec, correct?

So if I was using both, theoretically it could move up to 2 megs a sec,
correct?

I thought that this might be good for when it does get hit hard.  i also
thought that this was semi-common on other servers but I guess not,

thanks for your help
