I have 2 computers, each with 2 ethernet ports connected to 2 unmanaged switches using linux Bonding Mode: load balancing (round-robin). Can the 2 switches connect to each other without causing a problem?



It seems to operate fine and things work better when I artificially create some failures, but I wonder if it will cause some problem I don't notice.
