Gigabit switches (and switches by nature actually) are full duplex, meaning they can send and receive at the same time, so there would be no benefit to doing RX on one NIC and TX on the other. What you want is bonding so that sending and receiving are split between the NICs: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?s=&postid=1867215#post1867215 Jay -- Jay Lee Network / Systems Administrator Information Technology Dept.
