connection composed of multiple physical 100Mbs links. In this
latter situation, the Adaptive and Fixed policies typically used by
switches and other trunking drivers would not improve the per-
formance of the dedicated connection beyond that of a single
100Mbps link, since only a single source/destination address pair is
involved and therefore only a single link would ever be utilized.

An additional feature of PhobosLink is the ability to do “Priority
Trunking”. Another way of describing this feature is bandwidth man-
agement on the NIC. With priority trunking, specific network traffic
that is transmited out the NIC can be limited based on layer 3 and
layer 4 criteria. The layer 3 options include:
• IP
• IPX
• AppleTalk
• Other.
The layer 4 options include:
• Internet Protocol- TCP, UDP, ICMP, and other
• Destination Address
• Socket Number - http, ftp, smpt, and other
Unless configured otherwise, no priority trunk groups exist. To create
a priority trunk group, click on the “Priority Trunking” button found
on the PhobosLink properties window. The action will bring up the
following window:
