I have been playing with this stuff and checking out its capacity with the limited hardware I have here in the land of cheese and windmills.
I am playing with a 29xx XL Cisco or something, but initially I hooked up back-to-back to a Sun E250. That taught me to read the release notes:-)
If you hook b-to-b to a filer with cross-over cables, for a dedicated pipe, and it is not multiple stations (with multiple MAC addrs) through a switch connected filer trunk, you really want to set the policy to round robin on the Sun quad card (after you purchase the unbundled trunking software:-P)
All in all though, pretty cool.
Sun was surprisingly easy to set up - er, for a UNIX box:-)
I'm curious - have any of you guys played with Etherchannel for any other vendor besides Sun? And NT or something? Comments, feedback?
