This is just a quick recommendation to those who seek improved network performance.

Previously we used to use just one interface and leave one spare as by default OVH did not set it up.

Tonight we configured a bond and used the 802.3ad mode and we have seen massive performance improvements.

The process was simple.
Remove eth0 from vmbr0 via the GUI
Create bond0 and add eth0 and eth1 ( without network settings ) and use mode 802.3ad
Reboot and see the gains.

Be aware that your switch needs to be able to run this mode and lucky the switches at OVH do so we were fortunate.
