NAME
libvdeplug_bonding - multiplexing vdeplug module: bonding links
SYNOPSIS
libvdeplug_bonding.so
DESCRIPTION
This is a libvdeplug multiplex module implementing the bonding of mul-
tiple links.
The common usage of this module is to support multiple links between
virtual machines or switches. This module transmit packets on all the
available links in a round-robin manner. If the links use several
paths and channels it is possible to reach a higher bandwidth.
This module of libvdeplug4 can be used in any program supporting vde
like vde_plug, kvm, qemu, user-mode-linux and virtualbox.
The vde_plug_url syntax of this module is the following:
bonding://[path]
bonding://[path][[OPTION][/OPTION][/OPTION]...]
If path is omitted the path of the bonding is /tmp/vdenode_$USERNAME
(e.g. /tmp/vdenode_john if the username is john).
OPTIONS
mode=MODE
define the permissions for the bonding node (see chmod). MODE is
an octal number. The standard permission mask is: 0600 (only
processes owning to the same user can join the network).
dirmode=DIRMODE
define the permissions for the bonding node control direc-
tory(see chmod). MODE is an octal number. If omitted, is com-
puted from mode.
grp=GROUP
define the group ownership of the bonding node.
EXAMPLES
bonding:///tmp/bonding
Other virtual machines, namespaces or vde_plug can join this bond-
inglink using vde:///tmp/hub or simply /tmp/hub
Given two virtual machines using bonding:///tmp/vm1 and bond-
ing:///tmp/vm2 respectively, it is possible to connect them using
vde_plug /tmp/vm1 /tmp/vm2. If the second virtual machine is running on
a remote hosts; ip1.vm2.domain.org and ip2.vm2.domain.org are two ip
addresses permitting to reach that remote host using different paths,
the commands vde_plug /tmp/vm1 = ssh ip1.vm2.domain.org vde_plug
/tmp/vm2 and vde_plug /tmp/vm1 = ssh ip2.vm2.domain.org vde_plug
/tmp/vm2 create two channels between the two virtual machines. Packets
are sent in turns on one or the other link.
bonding:///tmp/bonding[mode=0666]
It is the same bondinglink, but everybody is allowed to connect their
processes.
