- Hello,
-
- I have heard that putting multiple NIC's in a server and using
- internal bridging gives you better throughput than having only 1 NIC.
- I heard also that you should have only 30 connections per NIC.
- Someone from our LAN ops group said that internal bridging is slow and
- since you have to put each NIC on a different segment you have 2 hops
- from the root.
-
- Having multiple NIC's makes sense to me but I need more information
- can someone out there tell me where to look. I need some hardcore
- data and/or formulas.
-
- Thanks,
-
- Mike
