I just started taking a look at the existing bonding driver and evaluating what work needs to be done to support ipoib driver below it. It seems to me like a lot of pieces for this approach are readily available (ifenslave and other logic) etc and besides I guess that will keep one standard approach of doing bonding in linux. I also assume that while the ipoib gets enslaved, it will get enough opportunity to take right set of steps for its present connections and traffic etc. I might be wrong here though. Would like to hear from other members about this one.
