Chris, I work with iHDTV <http://ihdtv.org>, a project that sends uncompressed high definition television (1.5 Gbps) as UDP over two 1 Gbps interfaces. If both interfaces are on the same subnet, the OS sees the same router (gateway) address on both interfaces, and the results are sub-optimal ... around 50% packet loss.

Hi, This is a pretty moronic question, but I've been searching RFC's on-and-off for a couple of weeks and can't find an answer. So I'm hoping someone here will know it offhand. I've been looking through RFC's trying to find a clear statement that having two interfaces in the same subnet does not work, but can't find it that statement anywhere. The OS in this case is Linux. I know it can be done with clever routing and prioritization and such, but this has to do with vanilla config, just setting up two interfaces in one network. I would be grateful for a pointer to such an RFC statement, assuming it exists. Thanks! Chris
