The more I do this, the more I get this uneasy feeling that this
hasn't been done much before? :) Not too many guides that bond for
bandwidth-aggregation. None at all for strict peer-to-peer
bandwidth-aggregation. Am I trying to do the impossible?

Most people seem to use bonding for fault tolerance or a one-to-many
communication pipe.I really need more anecdotes and comments from
other guys who successfully use bonding.
