Link layer multichannel management method

The invention discloses a link layer multichannel management method. The method comprises the following steps: when a local machine sends an address resolution protocol ARP request to an opposite terminal, a bonding drive obtains an IP address of the opposite terminal from the ARP request; the opposite terminal receives the ARP request and sends an ARP answer to the local machine; and when the ARP answer arrives at the local machine from the opposite terminal, the bonding drive obtains a hardware address of the opposite terminal from the ARP answer. According to the method, link layer management is performed by the ARP request, the ARP answer and the bonding drive, receiving load balance is achieved by ARP negotiation, the receiving flow from a local machine terminal namely a server will be balanced, and thus load balance is achieved. 本发明公开了种链路层多通道管理方法，该方法包括：当本机发送地址解析协议ARP请求到对端时，bonding驱动从所述ARP请求中获取对端的IP地址；对端接收所述ARP请求，向本机发送ARP应答；当所述ARP应答从对端到达本机时，bonding驱动从所述ARP应答中获取对端的硬件地址。该方法利用ARP请求和ARP应答及bonding驱动来进行链路层管理，接
