[ovirt-users] Network redundancy with Manual balancing per VLAN

[Fernando Frediani]

Hello,

In VMware it is possible to bond two network interfaces and for each 
Portgroup (equivalent to a VLAN) is possible to tell which of the 
physical interfaces underneath it you wish the traffic to flow primarily 
and which stays as secondary(bond mode=1 equivalent). So for certain 
VLANs (Management, Live Migration, etc) is possible to force traffic 
flow via one physical NIC of the bond and for other VLANs (Virtual 
Machine's traffic) outs via the other NIC with failover to each other 
should a cable or switch fails.

This is specially good for better utilize the fewer NICs available and 
still have redundancy.

In oVirt it is also possible to have bonds, but would it still be 
possible to do that same and favor the traffic per VLAN basis ? I guess 
it is something related to Linux Bond module but perhaps someone has 
done this already.

Thanks

Fernando
