Message-ID: <8532C3BD1ECBC64BA47CE43AFED6D38EC37E5AA5@S103.efacec.pt> Date: Tue, 11 Feb 2014 13:53:32 +0000 From: Gustavo Pimentel <gustavo.pimentel@...cec.com> To: "netdev@...r.kernel.org" <netdev@...r.kernel.org> Subject: Bonding Hi, I'm writing you because because I'm have implemented a new mode (PRP Parallel Redundancy Protocol) for bonding kernel driver. This new mode is quite simple, I don't know if you have heard about PRP, but it's a new standard that allows to overcome any single network failure without affecting the data transmission. The general idea resides on having two separate LAN (A & B) very similar and transmitting the almost the same frame through both LANs and the end device should accept one frame and discard the other according to a known mechanism. I have implemented this new mode on bonding driver, but I have some difficulties: . Writing linux driver is quite new for me. I don't' know if exists guide lines for driver coding. . I don't know how to submit the code to be include on kernel repository. . Maybe another pair of eyes could find help to improve the writing code for this mode. I think my driver code is 99% complete. I'm currently testing with 3 equipments (1 pc + 1 embedded device running both my modify bonding driver) and a third party equipment called RedBox. Would you be interested in participating / helping this project?
