Aggregate multiple network interfaces into a single logical "bonded" interface

• Bonding provides a method for aggregating multiple network interfaces into a single logical "bonded" interface.
• According to the 802.3ad specification, Linux Bonding drivers provides various flavours of bonded interfaces depending on the mode (bonding policies), such as round robin, active aggregation.
• When Bond CNI is configured as a standalone plugin, interfaces are obtained from the host network namespace. With these physical interfaces a bonded interface is created in the container network namespace.
• When used with Multus users can bond two interfaces that have previously been passed into the container.
• A major use case for bonding in containers is network redundancy of an application in the case of network device or path failure and unavailability. For more information - refer to network redundancy using interface bonding.
• And for more information on the bonding driver please refer to kernel doc.

Features

• Redundancy: Provides network redundancy to prevent downtime.
• Performance: Enhances network performance through active aggregation.
• Compatibility: Works with Multus to bond interfaces passed into containers.
• Flexibility: Supports various bonding policies like round robin and active aggregation.
