Why dual lan

JeffBlair Limp Gawd. Joined Jul 13, Messages I don't think it would make much difference on gaming for a client. But, if you're transferring data to a server it helps.

I was able to move files around, and stream a blue-ray rip with no issues. Granted, my server also has dual gig NIC's. Shadowspawn [H]ard Gawd.

Streaming doesn't even come close to saturating a gig link. Denominative Vomit Weaksauce.

When you copy a file between those two systems you'll still max out at 1Gb. A connection gets hashed over one link.. It's what I call load distribution. So each client would see a max of 1Gb and the file server would see 2Gb. To speed up connections you really need a faster link.. So your saying that NIC teaming and link aggregation are two different things? Joined Sep 22, Messages What's new. New posts.

It means that if your motherboard and your router supports double-teaming for those ports, bandwidth will be almost doubled. If not, it just means you have two ethernet ports on your motherboard which you can plug both to the router and have them that way.

At best you can specify what goes trough which port. How do I know if it supports double teaming. Can you help me? Joined Dec 27, Messages 8, 1. Surely your motherboard came with an owners manual, have you referenced there?

The manufacture may have details to benefits as to why they placed multiple ports on your board. Joined Jun 16, Messages 81 0. Frag Maniac. Joined Nov 9, Messages 5, 1. Your bandwidth is going to be limited by the ISP speed you have. Lets say I want to use it to increase bandwidth, is it as easy as plug and go? Feb 21, 0 18, 0. Shouldn't have to do anything to hit two DSLs assuming two physical modems, with distinct MAC addresses , in fact 'teaming' won't work there - should just work You must log in or register to reply here.
