Hi all,
I am still looking into DCBX support for iSCSI and potentially other networking
applications. Previously I was only considering having the application be a
client of the lldpad daemon, but it looks like the application priority
information should be available from rtnetlink. Since rtnetlink is already
often used by networking applications, it seems like a better fit to use that
interface.
Hey,
So instead of iscsid/iscsistart communicating with lldpad, they will use
rtnelink to request the info or get changes?
Right now, the only missing element seems to be an rtnetlink event that could
be used to trigger the app to change priorities based on a change in the
configuration. How important do you think it is to support dynamic changes to
application priority? Is it essential for a first implementation?
I think it will be fine if at first it does not support dynamic changes.
If we will be using rtnetlink to get the initial info then there should
not be many major changes to the iscsi tools to support dynamic changes.
