Bondbind like for FreeBSD ?

Hello

Is there a FreeBSD tool that is equivalent of
"bondbind" for Linux
( ethernet load balancing or trunking that use the Cisco's
etherchannel ) ?

Thanks

You can use the lagg device in 6-stable and -current; if
you're running
6.2 or older you can use ng_fec or ng_one2many, but they
both use
static configuration and aren't as nice.

Very cool.

Two questions:

1) "fec" and "lacp" must be used against
the same physical switch,
correct? 

2) What is the deterministic logic behind active/standby for
"failover"?
A heartbeat on the segment or physical interface state
change?

TIA,

Yes.  The lagg device is strictly to convert multiple links
between two
devices to a single logical one.  You can't build a mesh out
of a bunch
of switches or anything like that.

All the protocols use link state, and lacp additionally
sends its
configuration packets every 30 seconds.

mmh interresting , does this works for the amd64 version too
?
I use an IBM x3650 which is a native 64 bits bi-proc
machine.

Yes I read about this but it is far to be as useful as the
Linux "bonding" module

Anyway thanks for you answer Dan

It it doesn't say, you can assume that it works on all
supported
FreeBSD platforms.
