Actually Linux bonding should not be used with Open vSwitch even if it were not for this interaction with the bridge module. Bonding has a number of interesting interactions with the learning table and Open vSwitch has code to handle this but only if the bonding is handled by OVS itself. As a result, Linux bonding may work (assuming a new enough kernel version), however, you are likely to run into a number of difficult to diagnose corner cases. _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss_openvswitch.org
