Table 8.2 Bonding Mode Descripon

Bond Mode	Descripon
Round-robin	Denion:All data network interfaces sends and receives data in turn.When using the mode, it is recommended to apply protocols except TCP/IP.Advantage:Load balance.All data network interfaces are fully used.There is no requirement about hardware like network switch.Disadvantage:The order of received data is uncertain.Low network throughput.
Acve-Backup	Denion: The default bond mode. Transmits data via a specied data network interface, other data network interfaces are standby. Only when the specied data network interface fails, another standby data network interface takes overtransmission task.Advantage:There is no requirement about hardware like network switch.Redundant network links.Disadvantage:Load balance isn't supported.Uses only one data network interface at a me. Other data network interfaces aren't fully used.
XOR	Denion:The storage system can gure out the relationship between each data network interface and client MAC addresses. According to the relationship, the storage system transmits data to clients with corresponding data network interface. If the working data network interface fails, another data network interface takes over the task.It is recommended to use this mode in a local area network. However, if data is transmied via network gateway, don't use the mode.Advantage:There is no requirement to hardware like network switch.Balance the load in the local area network within a network switch.Disadvantage:Load balance isn't supported in dierent local area network.
Broadcast	Denion:All the data network interfaces transmit the same data.Advantage:There is no requirement about hardware like network switch.Redundant network links.Data network interfaces are fully used.Disadvantage:Load balance isn't supported.Low data network interface usage.
802.3ad	Denion:The storage system gures out the relationship between each data network interface and clients' MAC addresses according to Hash Algorithm. The storage system transmits data to client via corresponding data network interface.Advantage:Based on IEEE standard, devices in system can work eciently if they are all 802.3ad mode.Load balance.Data network interfaces are fully used.Disadvantage:The storage system, network switch, and client server are all required to support 802.3ad mode.
Tlb	Denion:The storage system allocates output trac to each data network interfaces, according to current load. And transmits data to clients via dierent data network interfaces. If the working data network interface fails, another data network interface takes over the task.● Advantage:➢ Data network interfaces are fully used.➢ Load balance when sending data.● Disadvantage:Load balance isn’t supported when receiving data.
Virtualizaon	● Denion:➢ The storage system allocates input and output trac to each data network interfaces, according to current load.➢ It is recommended to use the mode when sending and receiving data to mulple clients.● Advantage:➢ Data network interfaces are fully used.➢ Load balance in both sending and receiving data.
