I think I would rather look at a multipe nat pools solution, using route-map.Check this out:http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk648/tk361/technologies_tech_note09186a0080093fca.shtmlHope it helps

I am sure it depends on the hardware but this works on 2900 and 3550 type switches.- Ping the station doing the broadcast from the switch.- Check the arp table to get the mac address corrsponding to the IP- Check the mac table to find the interface.W...

A flow is restricted to one link, and to the capacity of that link. But another flow could (depends on hash) use another link of the etherchannel, and that's when you get some overall bandwidth aggregation.

You are right in concluding etherchannel is mostly link redundancy, it is however giving you some aggregation, the hash will somewhat distribute traffic (based on src/dst mac) on the multiple links of your etherchannel. If you did not use etherchanne...
