[Beowulf] bonding and bandwidth

[Jean-Marc Larré]

Hi all,

I'm testing bonding.c with two gigabit ethernet links toward a HP 2848 
switch. My kernel is 2.4.24 from kernel.org on RedHat 9.0
modules.conf is like this :
[root at node01 root]# cat /etc/modules.conf
alias eth1 bcm5700
alias eth2 bcm5700
alias bond0 bonding
options bond0 miimon=100 mode=balance-alb updelay=50000

My problem :
I get a bandwidth around 900Mbit/s and not 1800Mbit/s with netperf or 
iperf or NetPipe. Could you explain me why I'm not get 1800Mbit/s and 
where is my problem ?

Thank you
Sincerely.
Jean-Marc
