Research and Implementation of Multiple Network Channel Bonding Scheme
Xiumian Hu · Mini-micro Systems · 2005
Considering the backbone position of the NAS server in network system, and NIC(network interface card) acting as the interface of server and network data, we proposed a MNCB (multiple network channel bonding) scheme to promote network performance and reliability. This paper describes implementation method of MNCB in FreeBSD OS. We emphasizes the discussion on ALB(Adapter Load Balancing) and AFT(Adapter Fault Tolerance)technologies, and give out the analysis of performance and reliability of this scheme. The results show that in the condition of requiring high reliable network environment or over consumed for update a single channel(such as gigabit NIC) or which is impracticable, the MNCB is a necessary method.
