| It is possible to adjust TCP/IP's congestion limits by 
| 1659 altering the net.ipv4.tcp_reordering sysctl parameter. The 
| 1660 usual default value is 3, and the maximum useful value is 127. 
| 1661 For a four interface balance-rr bond, expect that a single 
| 1662 TCP/IP stream will utilize no more than approximately 2.3 
| 1663 interface's worth of throughput, even after adjusting 
| 1664 tcp_reordering.

 Four should give you more that two I guess, but it's diminishing returns.
