Re: A question about multipleconfigs and network interfaces

If you use standalone (c), then there is less packet filtering
overhead on instances which are not concerned with a given packet.
That said, there is more room for mistakes when traffic isn't on the
interface you think it is.  If you're dealing with traffic over a few
hundred megabits per second, I would definitely do standalone.  If
you've got less, then I would do bond (b).

Hi all,

 When multipleconfigs is used, which is the best option for configure
network interfaces??

a) Make a bridge interface (br0) with all nics needed to sniff traffic
on required networks.
b) Make a bond interface (bond0) with all nics needed to sniff traffic
on required networks.
c) Use standalone interfaces.

Many thanks.
