Hi! that technique -two interfaces on the same network- is named Interface Bonding. Linux can do it easily. Home routers not so. The cheapest router with bonding capabilities is a mikrotik -for sure-. I tried it, but it wasn't a great improvement on my scenario and my workloads.
bonding can get you better performance but for multiple operations. A single operation will not give you double the performance. So, it wouldn't do anything for your internet connection. I recommend getting a faster network card (10GBe) and switch.
I doubt that your network card is the bottleneck to the internet. What does your provider offer and how powerfull is your router?
ATM I have 100MBit download /40MBit upload external traffic
Check the MTU available on your internet provider.

So maybe I didn't clarify well enough. My ISP gives us fiber 250 up, 250 down. And its very reliable. The router does gigabit ethernet.
A single operation will not give you double the performance.
But if I somehow designate one network card to handle only things from Jellyfin, and another one to handle all other traffic, would that work? Would I then have two IP addresses to call on?
I did look into 10gbe. It's too expensive for me at this time in my life

Sure but OMV doesn't allow you to specify an adapter for services. You could have to two addresses but if they are on the same subnet, you would only have one with a gateway. Are you saturating a gigabit adapter with Jellyfin?

I'm using $20 used mellanox cards from eBay and you can buy a switch with two 10GBe and two 2.5GBe ports for $150 https://www.amazon.com/gp/prod…_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I've never tried Jellyfin yet, so I don't know about bandwidth. I am assuming it will not take up the whole gigabit tho.
From the small amounts of documentation I can find, I am no longer considering using two ethernet ports. maybe I'll save the card to go in a another machine to use as a router someday

man thats a good deal.... but ill be content with Gigabit for now unless I run out of bandwidth and need to add a 10gig card later xD

Tipically, network interfaces transmit packets with MTU=1500, this means (basically) that packets has a maximum size of 1500 bytes (headers+payload). The MTU must fit with the capacity of the connection. Example: with IPSec VPN connections, max MTU is reduced to 1460. So, if the OMV sends a 1500byte packet, the router has to break it into two pieces. This is fatal for some protocols -i.e. SMB-. Our internet connection may be lower MTU than 1500. Check it with the ping tool (do not fragment). Adjunsting the interface MTU makes packets flow without fragmentation.
I know what a MTU is, but my provider will only offer 100MBit / 40 MBit speed. Living in germany is no fun regaring available internet speed.
But maybe in next year I can get a fiber with 1GBit up/download speed.

You poor soul. My internet is 5 down and .5 up. Ah, rural living. But yesterday I talked to an engineer driving down our road who told me fiber was coming this year. I’ll believe it when I see it.

Starlink??
I’m on the waiting list.
I have 400 down and 25 up with Spectrum, so for now I am a happy camper. ATT is laying down fiber in my neighborhood and is offering 1GB up and down for same $ as Spectrum but there might be a contract with ATT. I do not know yet.. Fiber by itself will not give you any faster connection, but it will reduce latency. The speed you get is the speed you pay for regardless copper or fiber unless you want 10GB. BTW copper line is good for, I believe, up to 2.5GB.+.
My 2 cents.

Not if it’s AT&T dsl/phone line.

Well....that is true. Cannot argue that one, but you are talking "DigitalSlowLine".
