Do you need multiple destination IPs to properly balance? It is my understanding that a single stream will only traverse a single link. Hence the MPIO requirement.

Hi,

Admittedly  not a DRBD issue per se, but I guess this list represents quite
some experience in the area: I have two gigabit NICs bonded in balance-rr mode
for DRBD sync. They are directly linked (no switch) to the other other pair in
the other DRBD node.

Before syncing things I was testing the performance and failover. Netperf
shows for instance this:


iscsi2:/etc/sysconfig/network # netperf -p 2222 -H 10.0.2.3
TCP STREAM TEST from 0.0.0.0 (0.0.0.0) port 0 AF_INET to 10.0.2.3 (10.0.2.3)
port 0 AF_INET
Recv   Send    Send
Socket Socket  Message  Elapsed
Size   Size    Size     Time     Throughput
bytes  bytes   bytes    secs.    10^6bits/sec

  87380  16384  16384    10.00     977.83


Pulling one cable gives me about the same speed. I would expect it to be at
least 20% slower. It seems the round robin does not speed up things.

The bonds on both sides show up fine in /proc/net/bonding/bond0.

Anyone any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Cheers,


Bart
