Hi Openstackers, We are working on link aggregation support in Fuel. We wonder what are the most desirable types of bonding now in datacenters. We had some issues (see below) with OVS bond in LACP mode, and it turned out that standard Linux bonding (attached to OVS bridges) was a better option in our setup.
I want to hear your opinion, guys. What types of bonding do you think are better now in terms of stability and performance, so that we can properly support them for OpenStack installations. Also, we are wondering if there any plans to support bonding in TripleO, and how you guys would like to see it be implemented? What is the general approach for such complex network configurations for TripleO? We would love to extract this piece from Fuel and make it fully independent, so that the larger community can use it and we could work collaboratively on it. Right now it is actually already granular and can be reused in other projects, and implemented as a separated puppet module: https://github.com/stackforge/fuel-library/tree/master/deployment/puppet/l23network .
