</span>i think of real multiple path setup i don't like to use bonding or<br>
something like it, i have a full mashed datacenter environment the<br>
idea is to put vxlan on the top of the routed back-plane, so i can<br>
easy setup new networks and all is redundent because of the lower<br>
layer3 net: and hopefully easy to scale.<br>

<br>
</div></div>in my case i have all NICs with the same wight, so i "just" need the<br>
second route entry<br>
Can i force olsr2 to start the Dijkstra for every leave NIC? and add<br>
each NIC into a extra routing Table?<br>
<br>
this sould work in my case? dont know how failover will do, let solve<br>
it layter on<br>

<br>
</span>like i tryed to draw, group outbound-nics and run Dijkstra on each of<br>
the links to find a idividual route or the same but from an other<br>
source NIC<br>
mybe i can try it by running multiple olsr2 deamons?<br>

<br>
</span>i don't like to have the normal datacenter traffic directly on those<br>
links, all Layer2 traffic will be in VxLAN, in the momet all that is a<br>
rough idea and i like to build it as open as possible<br>
<br>
thanks for your help,<br>
