balance-tlb or 5
Adaptive transmit load balancing: channel bonding that
- does not require any special switch support. The
- outgoing traffic is distributed according to the
- current load (computed relative to the speed) on each
- slave. Incoming traffic is received by the current
- slave. If the receiving slave fails, another slave
- takes over the MAC address of the failed receiving
- slave.
+ does not require any special switch support.
+
+ In tlb_dynamic_lb=1 mode; the outgoing traffic is
+ distributed according to the current load (computed
+ relative to the speed) on each slave.
+
+ In tlb_dynamic_lb=0 mode; the load balancing based on
+ current load is disabled and the load is distributed
+ only using the hash distribution.
+
+ Incoming traffic is received by the current slave.
+ If the receiving slave fails, another slave takes over
+ the MAC address of the failed receiving slave.
Prerequisite:
This option was added for bonding version 3.6.0.
+tlb_dynamic_lb
+
+ Specifies if dynamic shuffling of flows is enabled in tlb
+ mode. The value has no effect on any other modes.
+
+ The default behavior of tlb mode is to shuffle active flows across
+ slaves based on the load in that interval. This gives nice lb
+ characteristics but can cause packet reordering. If re-ordering is
+ a concern use this variable to disable flow shuffling and rely on
+ load balancing provided solely by the hash distribution.
+ xmit-hash-policy can be used to select the appropriate hashing for
+ the setup.
+
+ The sysfs entry can be used to change the setting per bond device
+ and the initial value is derived from the module parameter. The
+ sysfs entry is allowed to be changed only if the bond device is
+ down.
+
+ The default value is "1" that enables flow shuffling while value "0"
+ disables it. This option was added in bonding driver 3.7.1
