Good to know.
I wonder the impact using the bundle, now that I have this in production =)
The bond is configured with SLB active-active (Yea, I know some of the
issues with this) but since, as you said, it bypasses the bond code this
should avoid the SLB problem, right ?
Reading the man pages of ovs-ofctl seems that bundle do the same as the
bond code, so I was wondering if it shouldn't work the same.
At least in my case, we need to send all the outbound traffic of the VMs
out to the physical network to avoid inter-VMs communication. So use
normal, will make the VMs inside the same OVS to communicate.
Any other way to do that without bundle ? Or use normal but avoid
inter-VMs communication ?
