It is very strange that you have duplicates. Do you see duplicates of
incoming or outgoing packets?
50% packet loss is because to ng_one2many can't detect which link is
active and which is not. We have a solution for this in HEAD, but I'm
very sorry we can't MFC this to RELENG_5 due to ABI freeze. You can bring
up patches from HEAD to your system.
Actually, I'd better recommend you the following setup:
ifconfig bge0 up
ifconfig bge1 up
kldload /boot/kernel/ng_ether.ko
kldload /boot/kernel/ng_one2many.ko
kldload /boot/kernel/ng_eiface.ko
ngctl mkpeer bge0: one2many lower many0
ngctl connect bge1: bge0:lower lower many1
ngctl msg bge1: setenaddr ${MAC-address-of-bge0}
ngctl mkpeer bge0:lower eiface one ether
ngctl msg bge0:lower.one set ${MAC-address-of-bge0}
ngctl msg bge0:lower setconfig "{xmitAlg=1 failAlg=2 enabledLinks =[ 1 1 ] "
ifconfig ngeth0 1.2.3.4 netmask 255.255.0.0
Notice that I use failAlg=2, to make ng_one2many listen to flow control messages.
However, ng_ether can't send these messages in RELENG_5, see above.
And this setup is not guaranteed to work flawlessly unless you have a smart switch
and this two cables are plugged into one trunk group on switch.
M> manual for this sucks
I plan to write a handbook chapter on netgraph sometime this year.
