Oracle wants to improve Linux load balancing and failover
Oracle reckons Linux remote direct memory access (RDMA) implementations need features like high availability and load balancing, and hopes to sling code into the kernel to do exactly that.
The problem, as Oracle Linux kernel developer Sudhakar Dindukurti explained in this post, is that performance and security considerations mean RDMA adapters tie hardware to a “specific port and path”.
A standard network interface card, on the other hand, can choose which netdev (network device) to use to send a packet. Failover and load balancing is native.
