bonding: balance ICMP echoes in layer3+4 mode
The bonding uses the L4 ports to balance flows between slaves. As the ICMP protocol has no ports, those packets are sent all to the same device: # tcpdump -qltnni veth0 ip |sed 's/^/0: /' & # tcpdump -qltnni veth1 ip |sed 's/^/1: /' & # ping -qc1 192.168.0.2 1: IP 192.168.0.1 > 192.168.0.2: ICMP echo request, id 315, seq 1, length 64 1: IP 192.168.0.2 > 192.168.0.1: ICMP echo reply, id 315, seq 1, length 64 # ping -qc1 192.168.0.2 1: IP 192.168.0.1 > 192.168.0.2: ICMP echo request, id 316, seq 1, length 64 1: IP 192.168.0.2 > 192.168.0.1: ICMP echo reply, id 316, seq 1, length 64 # ping -qc1 192.168.0.2 1: IP 192.168.0.1 > 192.168.0.2: ICMP echo request, id 317, seq 1, length 64 1: IP 192.168.0.2 > 192.168.0.1: ICMP echo reply, id 317, seq 1, length 64 But some ICMP packets have an Identifier field which is used to match packets within sessions, let's use this value in the hash function to balance these packets between bond slaves: # ping -qc1 192.168.0.2 0: IP 192.168.0.1 > 192.168.0.2: ICMP echo request, id 303, seq 1, length 64 0: IP 192.168.0.2 > 192.168.0.1: ICMP echo reply, id 303, seq 1, length 64 # ping -qc1 192.168.0.2 1: IP 192.168.0.1 > 192.168.0.2: ICMP echo request, id 304, seq 1, length 64 1: IP 192.168.0.2 > 192.168.0.1: ICMP echo reply, id 304, seq 1, length 64 Aso, let's use a flow_dissector_key which defines FLOW_DISSECTOR_KEY_ICMP, so we can balance pings encapsulated in a tunnel when using mode encap3+4: # ping -q 192.168.1.2 -c1 0: IP 192.168.0.1 > 192.168.0.2: GREv0, length 102: IP 192.168.1.1 > 192.168.1.2: ICMP echo request, id 585, seq 1, length 64 0: IP 192.168.0.2 > 192.168.0.1: GREv0, length 102: IP 192.168.1.2 > 192.168.1.1: ICMP echo reply, id 585, seq 1, length 64 # ping -q 192.168.1.2 -c1 1: IP 192.168.0.1 > 192.168.0.2: GREv0, length 102: IP 192.168.1.1 > 192.168.1.2: ICMP echo request, id 586, seq 1, length 64 1: IP 192.168.0.2 > 192.168.0.1: GREv0, length 102: IP 192.168.1.2 > 192.168.1.1: ICMP echo reply, id 586, seq 1, length 64 Signed-off-by: Matteo Croce <mcroce@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Nikolay Aleksandrov <nikolay@cumulusnetworks.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
