CBB reminds me of the pieces of hardware I've labeled as "maybe bad".
Only to run across 2 years later, and find myself wondering "who was this 'future me' that I envisioned might be interested in an ethernet card that exhibits flaky behavior under high load when bonded?"
- Anthony-G 7y agoBeen there and learned that lesson! Let's waste future me's time by having them figure out in what way the hardware might be bad.
- exikyut 7y agoWell, if it just corrupts packets and doesn't (make the (driver|kernel) crash|bring the link down completely|confuse PCIe so badly the PCH hard-resets) you could use it to build a resilient UDP (or even TCP) packet retransmission algorithm. Not kidding, the results would probably be drop-in usable for cellular/satellite/microwave/etc links, and spotty WAN in general.
