I finally did find some stats on teaming

OK, at least its not an *issue* with Gluster. I didn't expect any but you never know.

I have been amused at the 'lack' of discussion on Teaming performance found on Google searches.

There are lots of 'here it is and here is how to set it up' articles/posts, but no 'ooh-wee-wow it is awesome' comments.

It seems that for most people Bonding has worked it kinks out and thus serves its purpose perfectly fine, so no reason to change to Teaming.

That or they had Mahdi's experience with Teaming in its present state and bonding just works better for now.

For now, I'll just use tried and true ALB bonding on this project. After I have some free time I may play with it some more on a test bed we have here.

Among the 'advantages' claimed for Teaming  is the lower performance overhead (though "low vs very-low" may not be significant)

Thanks all for the feedback.

I'll let everyone know if my testing happens and if it is a significant difference (good or bad).

I haven't done any testing of performance differences, but on my oVirt/rhev i use standard bonding as that's that it supports.  On the stand along gluster nodes I use teaming for bonding.

Teaming may be slightly easier to manage, but not by much if you are already used to bond setups.  I haven't noticed any bugs or issues using teaming.

I'm looking at tuning up a new site and the bonding issue came up

A google search reveals that the gluster docs (and Lindsay) recommend balance-alb bonding.

However, "team"ing came up which I wasn't familiar with. Its already in RH6/7 and Ubuntu and their Github page implies its stable.

The libteam.org people seem to feel their solution is more lightweight and it seems easy enough to setup.

Before I go down this path, I was curious if anyone had any experience/comments with 'team'

It would be nice to get a little speed bump essentially for free.
