From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Michael Flower Date: Tue, 13 Mar 2007 01:26:12 +0000 Subject: [LARTC] Problem Message-Id: <45F5FDB4.4040207@elantisystems.com> List-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: lartc@vger.kernel.org Hello. I am trying to get multi paths running, i.e I want to specify 2 paths from a particular node to another. To test this, I am setting up the following scenario: I create 2 tap devices tap0 = 10.1.1.1/32 netmask 255.255.255.0 tap1 = 10.2.2.2/32 netmask 255.255.255.0 I then issue the route command: ip route add 10.3.3.3/32 nexthop via 10.1.1.2 nexthop via 10.2.2.3 The route table then looks like: 10.3.3.3 nexthop via 10.1.1.2 dev tap0 weight 1 nexthop via 10.2.2.3 dev tap1 weight 1 Pinging 10.3.3.3 causes arp requests on tap1 for 10.2.2.3 and never for 10.1.1.2. (there is nothing connected to tap0 or tap1 so I don't expect anything really, but I do expect the ARP requests, which would show that splitting would work. If the two routes were being used equally, I would have expected to see arp requests for 10.1.1.2 also (wouldn't I?) ...Michael Flower -- Michael Flower ES Labs Elantis Systems Inc. +61 3 9550 0866 _______________________________________________ LARTC mailing list LARTC@mailman.ds9a.nl http://mailman.ds9a.nl/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/lartc
