Assign monitors to specific server NIC to spread net load

Post by thor95 »

Would this be useful to anyone else?
I'd like to be able to assign each camera monitor to receive video from a specified NIC on the server in order to spread the network load on the server.
The CPU and Hard Drives can keep up, but network load on a single NIC seems to be high.

I'm not sure how you would actually do that.

Instead look at nic bonding.
Otherwise use multiple actual networks with multiple nics.

No need for ZM to support this, it is an underlying networking thing.
