Unifi Link Aggregating for Proxmox bond

[faisa7847]

i have configured a 2-ports on mu unifi switch as Agregating with 2 nics on my proxmox server as bond I can see the output of bond 1 to be 2bps but on iperf I get 1 gbps

iperf Done.

For me it sounds normal: without extra parameters (which I assume is the case) there is only one TCP session in the iperf3 test, and one session cannot exceed the capacity of one physical link due to the way the packets are distributed among the bundle members.

Use

-P 5

(for example) option to run five parallel test streams, and you should see better aggregate result with iperf3.
