An administrator is tasked with configuring networking on an AHV cluster and wants to maximize throughput for the host with many small VMs while minimizing network switch configuration. Which bond mode should the administrator select?
Active-active and active-active with MAC pinning have 20GBps maximum host throughput, Active-backup is maximum 10 GBps. Active-Active with MAC pinning does not require link aggregation since each source MAC address is balanced to only one adapter at a time. If you select the Active-Active NIC-teaming policy, you must enable LAG and LACP on the corresponding ToR switch for each node in the cluster one after the other.

If you select the Active-Active NIC-teaming policy, you must enable LAG and LACP on the corresponding ToR switch for each node in the cluster one after the other.
Active-Active with Mac Pinning allows for the load to be distributed across multiple links while keeping the MAC addresses pinned to specific links. This is particularly useful when dealing with many small VMs as it helps in optimizing network traffic and ensuring efficient utilization of network resources.
