I am messing around with my network configuration and I am curious about how this works. So I have 2 bonds that are ports with different redundanies and I put them both as a port in this linux bridge. What does it exactly do, is it using them both at the same time or is it using the first bond and then the 2nd bond listed after?

it'll send traffic to both bond at the same time.

if you want some kind of failover, you can create bond (active-backup) of bonds.

(not sure that the gui allow it, but you can do it in /etc/network/interfaces)

When it does that, what does it exactly mean? What does sending traffic through both ports do?
