IPv6 bonding support?

Hi all

I've setup bonding on a few machines here. They're all blades in a Dell blade chassis, so they're both connected to the four internal switches (2 gigE, 2 10GigE). Using 10GigE only, I've setup bonding in active-backup mode with the ARP driver. While this works well, we're planning ahead for running IPv6 only.

Does anyone kow if something's in the works to allow redundant links in an IPv6-only setup?

Please cc: to me as I'm not on the list

Vennlige hilsener / Best regards

I all pedagogikk er det essensielt at pensum presenteres intelligibelt. Det er et elementært imperativ for alle pedagoger å unngå eksessiv anvendelse av idiomer med xenotyp etymologi. I de fleste tilfeller eksisterer adekvate og relevante synonymer på norsk.

I am not aware of any implementation or plans to implement an
IPv6 equivalent to the ARP monitor (arp_interval, et al) in bonding.

If the blade switches support a trunk failover system (wherein
the switch will drop carrier on internal facing ports when carrier is lost on an external port), it is possible to implement approximately equivalent functionality using trunk failover and the bonding mii monitor (miimon).
