Hello All:

I have a physical HN with four bonded NICs bonded using mode balance-alb

I am using venet and have a single venet0 instance

I have four CTs running on this single HN. The HN is a Dell PowerEdge R610 and the CTs are under low stress.

Everything works great; however, I am experiencing random timeouts from different services such as CT1 has MySQL on it and CT2 is connecting to it. Occasionally I will get a timeout on CT1 from CT2.

After studying this for some time I realized that from CT1 if I ping CT2 using CT2's IP address I see something like this

The ping/connectivity/response is fine but about every 30s - 60s I see one ICMP packet have a HUGE delay on it. This is VERY similar to what my applications are experiencing as well --> works fine, works fine, works fine, TIMEOUT, works fine, works fine, works fine, etc...

Additionally, this is ONLY relative to the machines using the venet0 interface. If I use an external machine to the HN and ping or use any of the services that are on the machines hooked to the venet0 I receive no timeouts. Everything works great. It is only if one venet0 connected CT connects to another venet0 connected CT. Furthermore, I have several of these HNs and it also effects any CT on any of those machines. So this occurs if any venet0 mounted CT attempts to use services/ping from another CT.

Has anyone experienced this or have any ideas?

Thanks, Chris
