Re: When to use Trunking
If it's working, don't touch it.
What are you looking to achieve with the change? Better performance? Moving LAN active equipment in one wiring closet? What kind of sitches do you have?

Re: When to use Trunking
I think the availability increase is awesome. iirc there is virtually no reconvergence time unlike using spanning tree to manage redundant links.
OT
I love the old sayings....if it works don't touch it...that is of course until you lose availability that could have been prevented by a simple 5 min configuration.

Re: When to use Trunking
Trunking will increase the _aggregate_ performance but does not (directly) increase the performance of individual flows. So, aggregation will not in and of itself speed-up say an individual FTP transfer, but it can speed-up a set of concurrent FTP transfers.
You also need to consider the structure of the traffic - is is many to many, many to one, that sort of thing, and then look at the packet scheduling algorithms available in the trunking you would be using - will it schedule frames in the aggregate based on MAC address, or IP, or something else?
