Chapter XII. Offload Bonding driver

1. Introduction

The Chelsio Offload bonding driver provides a method to aggregate multiple network interfaces
into a single logical bonded interface effectively combining the bandwidth into a single
connection. It also provides redundancy in case one of link fails.
The traffic running over the bonded interface can be fully offloaded to the T5/T4 Adapter, thus
freeing the CPU from TCP/IP overhead.
