Hi Darren,

I think that's the real purpose behind ng_one2many:

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=ng_one2many&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=FreeBSD+4.9-stable&format=html

My interest has always been combining tap transmit
outputs, so I haven't tried it.

I do plan to test Ruslan's new code that addresses the
double-packet issue, once I have the time to work with
my 4-stable box.  

Sincerely,

Richard

Hello,

I'm happy to confirm that interface bonding via the
method I posted on 9 Jan 04 works properly when run on
FreeBSD 4 STABLE.

http://www.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/FreeBSD-Security/2004-01/0024.html

I reported on 22 Jan that this method produced
duplicate packets.  This was only an issue on 4.9
RELEASE.  Ruslan fixed it, so STABLE works well.

Thanks again Ruslan!
