Research and implementation of multi-network adapter bonding technology based on multi-core processor

Considering of the current IP-SAN network link performance bottlenecks and single points of failure, we studied the existing Linux bonding technology. Multi-network Adapter Bonding Technology can improve the speed of access to IP-SAN, and can reduce the link failure caused by a single point of failure. We introduced the existing Linux bonding technology in this paper, proposed and implemented a Multinetwork Adapter Bonding method based on multi-core processors. To evaluate performance of this method, We used Embedded Server based on multi-core processors to do the test, the performance of Linux bonding technology is used as a contrast. According to the test results, the multi-network adapter bonding method which we proposed in this paper, can significantly increase the embedded server to access the IP-SAN speed and flexibility.¹
