IB boinding is exactly what I would like to do but I have some questions: 1. is the ISL supported? I've seen that is not suggested to interconnect two IB switches (and I don't know why) http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/Documentation/networking/bonding.txt#n1967 Without ISL and using two different IB switches, one port failure will result in the whole node down because there is no other active path to the primary switch This would be good in my environment by I prefere to get a real failover. 2. can I use active-active mode like standard ethernet bonding with some sort of balancing? http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/Documentation/networking/bonding.txt#n2127 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-rdma" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
