</div>Both interfaces won't be used.<br>
<br>
Packets will travel out of which ever interface has a route to their<br>
destination.<br>
<br>
If both interfaces have the same route, then it'll use the route with<br>
the lower metric.<br>
<br>
With bonding, it depends on the mode you are using.<br>
<br>
If you are using 802.3ad, then from what I understand (someone correct<br>
me if I'm wrong here!), you won't get the speed of both interfaces (ie,<br>
2x gigabit ports bonded together won't mean you can transfer a single<br>
file at 2 gigabits/s) but rather you can have two separate transfers<br>
that together are going at 2 gigabits/s.<br>
