Instead, I should simply have used the words "Ceph > VM Image" instead of "Ceph objects".

It depends on which linux bonding driver is in use, some drivers load share on transmit, some load share on receive, some do both and some only provide active/passive fault tolerance. I have Ceph OSD hosts using LACP (bond-mode 802.3ad) and they load share on both receive and transmit. We're utilizing a pair of bonded 1GbE links for the Ceph public network and another pair of bonded 1GbE links for the cluster network. The issues we've seen with 1GbE are complexity, shallow buffers on 1GbE top of rack switch gear (Cisco 4948-10G) and the fact that not all flows are equal (4x 1GbE != 4GbE). -- Kyle _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list ceph-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.ceph.com/listinfo.cgi/ceph-users-ceph.com
