On an ES40 system, can multiple ethernet cards be grouped together to
increase bandwidth?

In the Tru64/HP-UX conference-call on August 22, there was mention of using
"LAG" - Link Aggregation Protocol -- to create more bandwidth from multiple
NICs (network interface cards).

Is this feature available in Tru64 5.1 ? Or is it a feature in some future
release of Tru64?

I'm only aware of NetRAIN, which provides redundancy but not the ability to
group the ethernets into a wider pipe.

Thanks,

Robert Aldridge
