Re: [ovirt-users] Juniper vSRX Cluster on oVirt/RHEV

Truth be told I dont really know. What I am going to be doing with it is pretty much mostly some lab stuff and get working with VRF's a bit There is a known limitation with virtio backend driver uses interrupt mode to receive packets and vSRX uses DPDK - https://dpdk.readthedocs.io/ en/stable/nics/virtio.html which in turn creates a bottleneck in to the guest VM. It is more ideal to use something like SR-IOV instead and remove as many buffer layers as possible with PCI passthrough One easier way too is to use DPDK OVS. I know ovirt supports OVS in later versions more natively so I just didnt go after it and I dont know if there is any difference between just regular OVS and DPDK OVS. I dont have a huge requirement of insane throughput, just need to get packets from amazon back to my lab and support overlapping subnets This exercise was somewhat of a POC for me to see if it can be done. A lot of Junipers documentation does not take in to account such things as ovirt or proxmox or any linux overlay to hypervisors like it does for vmware / vcenter which is no fault of their own. They assume flat KVM host (or 2 if clustered) whereas stuff like ovirt can introduce variables (eg: no MAC spoofing) On Fri, Mar 23, 2018 at 3:27 PM, FERNANDO FREDIANI < fernando.frediani(a)upx.com&gt; wrote: > Out of curiosity how much traffic can it handle running in these Virtual > Machines on the top of reasonable hardware ? > > Fernando > > 2018-03-23 4:58 GMT-03:00 Joop <jvdwege(a)xs4all.nl&gt;: > >> On 22-3-2018 10:17, Yaniv Kaul wrote: >> >> >> >> On Wed, Mar 21, 2018 at 10:37 PM, Charles Kozler < >> <ckozleriii@gmail.com&gt;ckozleriii(a)gmail.com&gt; wrote: >> >>> Hi All - >>> >>> Recently did this and thought it would be worth documenting.
