I have one production system where my customized application runs.The applications require
seamless network connectivity with different machines connected in LAN and WAN. As these applications are very critical, it is very much required to have a seamless network activity.The applications are running on Red Hat Enterprise Linux server release 5.9 Kernel version is 2.6.18.
I have 2 Ethernet port in my application server machine and these 2 ports are bonded using bonding utility of Linux.These 2 ports can be pinged by a single IP.
In bonding configuration I have used
Adaptive Load Balancing. Recently I have tested for seamless activity of the applications in production system and found the following.
- When I remove LAN A (Physically) from switch I am not losing any ping packet drop.
- When I reconnect the LAN A again I am having 7 ping packet drop enough to disconnect logical path formed by customized application running on server.
The same is true for LAN B also.
In order to have seamless load sharing activity bonding is used but it is not performing as desired.
Can any body help me to troubleshoot the same?
