I agree that I’d like to see a set of use cases for this. This is the
second time in as many days that I’ve heard about a desire to have such
a thing but I still don’t think I understand any use cases adequately.
In the physical world it makes perfect sense, LACP, MLT,
Etherchannel/Portchannel, etc. In the virtual world I need to see a
detailed description of one or more use cases.
Shihanzhang, why don’t you start up an Etherpad or something and start
putting together a list of one or more practical use cases in which the
same VM would benefit from multiple virtual connections to the same
network. If it really makes sense we ought to be able to clearly
describe it.
One obvious case is if we ever support SR-IOV NIC passthrough. Since
that is essentially real hardware, all the "physical world" reasons
still apply.
