Do you need to pump large amounts of data to a multitude of clients simultaneously, while only using a single IP address? By using “link aggregation” we can join several separate network cards on the system into one humongous NIC.
您是否需要在仅使用一个IP地址的同时将大量数据同时泵送到多个客户端? 通过使用“链路聚合”,我们可以将系统上的多个独立网卡连接到一个大型NIC中。
总览 (Overview)
Link aggregation was designed to give you the option of increasing available network bandwidth and resiliency, without completely changing your infrastructure to do so (with the cost that such a move would entail).
链路聚合旨在为您提供增加可用网络带宽和弹性的选项,而无需完全更改您的基础结构(这样做会带来成本)。
Beyond that, as system administrators, we usually have little to no affect over the inner workings of the applications running on our servers. So if such a time comes that we need to increase the available network bandwidth to the application we may be facing a complete redesign of the system. You probably know that changing the client-server interaction, funding a targeted feature requests from the application’s vendor or upgrading to a new generation of network equipment, is either a lot of work or requires a budget or both. So a second before you fork out the time and $$$, consider that the upshot of using the “Link aggregation” technology, is that because this is done at the infrastructure level (OS, NICs and switches) the application can remain completely oblivious to the change while suddenly getting the combined bandwidth of multiple network connections.
除此之外,作为系统管理员,我们通常对服务器上运行的应用程序的内部运行几乎没有影响。 因此,如果到了这样的时刻,我们需要增加应用程序的可用网络带宽,那么我们可能会面临系统的全面重新设计。 您可能知道,更改客户端与服务器的交互,为来自应用程序供应商的目标功能请求提供资金或升级到新一代网络设备是一项繁重的工作,或者需要预算,或者两者兼而有之。 因此,在花费时间和资金之前,请先考虑一下使用“链路聚合”技术的结果,因为这是在基础架构级别(操作系统,NIC和交换机)完成的,因此应用程序可以完全忽略在突然获得多个网络连接的总带宽的同时进行更改。

Moreover, nowadays this technology is a standard part of most network equipment, you just have to be a “geek” to use it. So, “Remember the fires of hell that forged you!” and let show everyone what we’re made of by squeezing every ounce of performance available from the current infrastructure .
而且,如今,该技术已成为大多数网络设备的标准组成部分,您只需要成为“极客”即可使用它。 因此,“ 记住锻造你的地狱之火! 并通过压缩当前基础架构的每一分性能来向所有人展示我们的能力。

先决条件 (Prerequisites)
- This guide was written using Ubuntu server9.10 x64, therefore it is assumed that you have a Debian based system to work with as well. 本指南是使用Ubuntu server9.10 x64编写的,因此假定您也可以使用基于Debian的系统。
- your system has more then one network card. 您的系统有一个以上的网卡。
- You will see me use VIM as the editor program, this is just because I’m used to it… you may use any other editor that you’d like.
