Van Jacobson's network channels - how about network failovers?Van Jacobson's network channels - how about network failovers?Posted Feb 2, 2006 7:11 UTC (Thu) by jiri.hlusi (guest, #34016)Parent article: Van Jacobson's network channels
The throughput gain numbers presented are certainly interesting. But does it affect e.g. network failovers (bonding) as well? There is loads of useful stuff [potentially] done in the kernel space, if one only sees the need for using it. Moving lots of the add-on functionality to the user space libraries might put own price tag to the complexity of those libraries as such.

Van Jacobson's network channels - how about network failovers? Posted Feb 3, 2006 19:00 UTC (Fri) by caitlinbestler (subscriber, #32532) [Link] Why wouldn't you be able to create a net channelto a non-physical netdevice? You still have removed the L4 processing from the kernel and gotten the same reduction in context switching.
