What is the benefit of SMB-LC over managing the link speed at a lower level via link bonding or trunking?
Most methods of link aggregation won't speed up a single TCP connection, and they can be messy-to-impossible to set up on non-Linux machines.
With SMB you just plug in 2 NICs and you automatically get ~double the bandwidth.
