VoltDB Bonded Network Compatibility

In this post, we describe VoltDB's high availability architecture and how it interacts with bonded networks. Together, they offer protection and continuity against network failovers. How do we know? Because we tested it and describe the tests we ran to verify compatibility with various bonded network modes.

What Is a Bonded Network?

Bonded networking is a protocol that allows multiple physical network interfaces to act as one logical interface for higher bandwidth and redundancy for high availability. It is also known as Channel Bonding, NIC Teaming, Link Aggregation Groups (LAG), Trunk Group, EtherChannel and 802.3ad. The Linux driver that bonds the server interfaces is transparent to all higher level applications and shouldn't require any extra configuration by applications.
