Hi
one question:

i have a cluster of 3 physical servers, each has 4 NICS.
on every clusternode there should be up to 4 KVM machines (w2008)

Is it useful to take 4 NICS in a bond 802.3ad?

As far as i understood, 802.3ad uses MAX hashing (even or odd) so theoretically 2 NICS are the maximum which COULD be used (because VMBR0 is the bridge which is used, not the virtual network interfaces). Or am i wrong?
