 Posted: Thu Jun 07, 2018 9:53 pm Post subject: Bonding, speed benefit ? |
 |
|
I just upgraded to a 10Gbit fiber connection but i don't have a 10Gbit network adapter, and after looking at the prices i don't think i will be getting one of those.
My question is, will i be able to get a speed upgrade bonding the two 1Gbit network adapters on my motherboard ? both connected to the same router on 2 different 1Gbit ethernet ports.
I read a little about bonding and configured systemd-networkd like this:
| Code: | /e/s/network ❯❯❯ cat 10-bond1.netdev
[NetDev]
Name=bond1
Kind=bond
[Bond]
Mode=balance-alb
PrimarySlave=enp11s0
LACPTransmitRate=fast |
| Code: | /e/s/network ❯❯❯ cat 10-bond1.network
[Match]
Name=bond1
[Network]
Address=192.168.1.100/24
Gateway=192.168.1.1
DNS=192.168.1.1
|
| Code: | /e/s/network ❯❯❯ cat 50-static.network
[Match]
Name=enp11s0
[Network]
Bond=bond1
|
| Code: | /e/s/network ❯❯❯ cat 60-static2.network
[Match]
Name=enp0s31f6
[Network]
Bond=bond1 |
| Code: | /e/s/network ❯❯❯ networkctl -a
IDX LINK TYPE OPERATIONAL SETUP

2 enp0s31f6 ether carrier configuring
3 enp11s0 ether carrier configuring
4 bond1 bond routable configured

Is this worth the hassle, or is the only option to get a 10Gbit network adapter ? |

You do not say if your route is capable of link aggregation. If your router does not support link aggregation, your bonding might worsen your data throughput. If your router does support link aggregation and is configured, then you should benefit from a little more speed than 1Gbps, but not as high as 2Gbps.

The router was provided by my ISP, and i can't find the technical specs or the manufacturer anywhere. Is there a way i can check if it does support link aggregation ? It does have a 10Gbit port though. |

aypro,
Link aggregation needs to be configured. Log into your router and see if its an option.
You will need to designate the ports that are to be aggregated.
Between your PC and the router is only a part of the problem. One way or another, the higher bandwidth needs to be available along the entire route to some other host.
Are you sure you nave a working 10G port?
The hole in the case is often provided but with no electronics inside.

The modem/router interface is very basic, i'm assuming it's an early version since it is a new offering, i don't have any option for link aggregation, not even firewall or port forwarding settings.
Yes it has a 10Gbit port as advertised on the manual and on the port, i can connect to it with my 1Gbit network adapter. |
