+When using a connection oriented protocol such as TCP, it may
|
||
|
|
+sometimes be advantageous to set up multiple connections between
|
||
|
|
+the client and server. For instance, if your clients and/or servers
|
||
|
|
+are equipped with multiple network interface cards (NICs), using multiple
|
||
|
|
+connections to spread the load may improve overall performance.
|
||
|
|
+In such cases, the

|
|
+.BR nconnect
|
