802.3ad Link Aggregation Load Balancing
I am running SuSE with (4) 1GB NICs using LACP. I have configured the switched correctly and the bond link works properly. What baffles me is that it does not seem to balance the load to the other members. One NIC always seems to do all the heavy lifting. If i start a cp from a remote host and then do another cp at the same time from a different host it will use the same NIC. I was under the impression 802.3ad did load balancing in addition to link aggregation? What am i missing here?
Thanks
TM
