>> OVS can't distribute packets of the same flow to different interfaces.
As far as I know, this is typical of all bonding implementations. If you send packets from the same flow down different links, they may arrive at the destination out of order. This can wreak havoc on tcp stacks. >> OVS can't really achieve balance/fairness between flows. >> OVS can't dynamically switch a flow between different interfaces on the >> fly based on the bandwidth utilization. This isn't true, if one slave is receiving quite a bit more traffic than another, some flows will be rebalanced to the less loaded one. By default this is done once every 10 seconds, but that's configurable. >> So it means the LACP implemented in OVS is not mature? >> Or it's just the nature of LACP?
