Thanks to Brandon Cate, Jeff Vaneek and Amiel Lee Yee for suggesting SunTrunking. Thanks also to Brandon for introducing me to his company's product, Nic Express. Both products are extra cost of course, and while have their advantages, I wanted to do this with Solaris. I had read about this feature but I couldn't find the name. Extra points go to Darren Dunham for not only suggesting SunTrunking, but also IPMP as a viable solution: "IPMultipathing isn't quite aggregation, but it does allow outbound traffic to use both ports, and it allows for failover if an interface dies. It may be sufficient for your needs. It's included in Solaris from Solaris 8 10/01 forward." This works out well for me at this point. According to Sun: "Outbound Load Spreading: Spread outbound network packets across multiple network adapters - without affecting the ordering of packets - in order to achieve higher throughput. Load spreading occurs when the network traffic is flowing to multiple destinations using multiple connections."
