[Gluster-users] bonding question

[Alex Crow]

Indeed. Only the rr (round robin) mode will get higher performance on a 
single stream. It also means that packets may be received out-of-order 
which can cause retransmissions (so it should never be used for UDP 
services like SIP/RTP). AFAIK it only works with Cisco etherchannel and 
does not scale well.

Multiple streams are balanced using the XOR of the two endpoint MAC 
addresses in mode 4. This can be changed to include L3 data (eg src/dest 
IP) but switch support is again limited for the alternate algo. I know 
my kit can't be changed to add L3 data. As long as you have multiple 
clients the default mode 4 will scale almost linearly and will be 
guaranteed to work across any switch that supports LACP.

Cheers
