Bonding NICs - Linux 5.10+ and Solaris 10+

Do the two NICs in a bonded pair have to be the same make and model? I was told for Linux that they needed to be for some reason and not just the same speed (IE both 1 GB).
Thanks.

I don't know what "Linux 5.10+" refers to (at the time of writing, the latest kernel is 3.11.6) but no, the NICs don't have to be the same make or model. Check out the documentation for the bonding driver for more information on how it works.

I'm afraid I don't know how bonding/link aggregation works in Solaris.
