Solaris 10 IP Multipathing



Hello, I would appreciate anyone's comments on how IP Multipathing has
worked out for you on Solaris 10. I work with a VoIP product running
Solaris 8 and 9. Last year we gave IPMP a try and didn't have good
success due to links being taken out of service because pings to the
router failed. (We found that some routers when under a load quit
responding to pings). I looked through this board and found that there
are several posts of encountering the same type of issue.

I have looked through the Sun docs for the Solaris 10 implementation of
IPMP and it appears that they have addressed this issue in a couple of
ways by allowing one to specifiy a "pinging" target list by setting up
static routes as well as disable the pinging altogether by not
specifying a test address.

Has this new implementation worked well for you or are there still some
more "gotchas" with it?

Thank you,

Mike Jacobs
