Usage or advantage of Dual Gigabit Ethernet

Just for my curiosity and knowledge, what is the advantage and usage of having a Dual Gigabit Ethernet behind the Mac Pro?


Any examples? or Articles I can read?


thank you

You can use the first one for Internet-bound and local traffic, the second for a local File Server.


IF you have a device that explicitly supports the required bonding protocol, you can bond the two links for even faster transfers.


The speed of even a single Gigabit Ethernet link exceeds almost every Internet connection, so the main benefit is in local file transfers (to other computers or servers).
