[libvirt] NIC Bonding in libvirt

[Shi Jin]

Hi there,

>From http://wiki.libvirt.org/page/FAQ, it says:
Network interface management: Any host running the libvirt daemon can be used to manage physical and logical network interfaces. Enumerate existing interfaces, as well as configure (and create) interfaces, bridges, vlans, and bond devices. This is with the help of netcf.<br/><br/>For more info, see: https://fedorahosted.org/netcf/

It suggests that NIC bonding (teaming) is supported in libvirt but all I can find is this page http://wiki.libvirt.org/page/TodoNICBonding which has nothing in it.  Can anyone advise on which stage this work is at and where to get more information on it.

My simplistic thought is to have a bridge on a bonded device but that seems to have ARP problems according to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=584872 and https://lists.linux-foundation.org/pipermail/bridge/2007-April/005376.html.

Thank you very much.
Shi
