Hello!
There is two devices. The first one have two Ethernet NICs that are connected to two Ethernet NICs
of the second one.
It is necessary to send two copies of Ethernet frame from the first device to the second one using
different NICs to each frame. I expect that at the receiver the two streams to be combined into
one.
To do this I try to use Linux bonding driver in Broadcast mode.
I'm using two VMware virtual machines with two NICs.
VM1 network config:
auto bond0
iface bond0 inet static
address 192.168.0.1/24
gateway 192.168.0.254
bond-slaves eth0 eth1
bond-mode broadcast
bond-miimon 100
bond-primary eth0 eth1
VM2 network config:
auto bond0
iface bond0 inet static
address 192.168.0.2/24
gateway 192.168.0.254
bond-slaves eth0 eth1
bond-mode broadcast
bond-miimon 100
bond-primary eth0 eth1
When I send ICMP request from VM1 to VM2, I see that VM2 sends sends multiple ICMP replies to VM1.
On this basis, I conclude that in VM2 two streams are not combined in one
What is the problem?
Thanks!
