Re: [MooseFS-Users] Separate network for chunk servers

[Casper L. <cas...@pr...>]

Hi Steve,

As an alternative I'd like to suggest Linux Network Bonding to you. You
should at least read up on it if you don't know it already.
https://wiki.linuxfoundation.org/networking/bonding Bonding allows you to
use the extra network bandwidth effectively, for *both* replication and
client traffic. This also possibly eliminates the network as single point
of failure in your setup. Choose your bonding mode carefully.

Greetings, Casper
