With the caveat that this does not increase the throughput of a single
flow.

Noteworthy here: If you want to do 802.3ad (aka LACP) the switches need
to be either stacked, use VSS/IRF or be compatible with MLAG/MC-LAG.

If you don't have such switches, you are limited to active-backup or
TLB/ALB-mode of the bonding code.
