Sep 22, 2012 00:38

This patch adds "per destination" and "per source" XOR hashing methods to "balance-xor" mode of "bonding" kernel module.
http://igorsd.ru/kernel/bonding.xor_modes.diff

After installing patched kernel, load module as follows:

for "per layer 3 destination" balancing:

modprobe bonding mode=2 xmit_hash_policy=3 ..other params..

for "per layer 3 source" balancing:

modprobe bonding mode=2 xmit_hash_policy=4 ..other params..

mode=2 is required for "balance-xor" mode of operation.
