Problem with bonding at balance-alb of packages loss
Hi all,
I have a problem with bonding of alb mode.
My host has a bond nic with alb mode. the bond contains two net cards -- eth0 and eth1. Since the bond builded, there are a number of packages loss. Sometimes the loss rate is 100%.
I found that it can work well after the promiscuous mode was configed to the eth1.
The mode 6 (balance-alb) is balance-tlb plus receive load balancing. Mechanism is based on ARP exchange. It isn't reliable. The promiscuous mode could solve issue but load balance could has problem. It is better use mode 4 (802.3ad) if connected switch support 802.3ad.
