Hi Miles and All,
this is off-topic, but as the discussion has started here:
Finally, *ALL THIS IS COMPLETELY USELESS FOR NFS* because L4 hashing
can only split up separate TCP flows.
The reason why I have spend some time with
http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6817942
is to make NFS loadbalancing over more than one TCP stream work again.
When rpcmod:clnt_max_conns is set to a value > 1, the NFS client will use
multiple TCP connections.
Now the next question is which IP adresses and TCP ports are chosen for these
connections, which are not guaranteed to be successive in order to get optimal
load distribution with the hashes I've seen in the field.
That's a topic I'll probably revisit..
Nils
