Subject: Re: under-performing bonded interfaces

It's a funny thing again... I left the bandwidth test running
over-night - I used 16 simple senders and receivers.

The bandwidth slowly climbed from around 16G to 19G, which is much
better. I suspect two causes: 1) regular tcp implementation that has
slow-start and aggressive back-off; 2) user-land application...
