Gluster users - Feb 2015 - 3 Node Replicated Gluster set up as a ring - a good idea?

Hello List,

i would like to build a 3 Node Cluster. I was thinking of such a setup:

My question:

Can i set it up my network that way, that it will still work of one node fails?

Just thinking about i want bonding and then i might even need a brige
to bring the "two sides of the nodes together"?

Will i then get loop? Do i need SPF or something alike?

Could i also use TCP Multipath? ( i have no experience with tcp
multipath so far)

What do you think?


Thanks,
Mario

p.s. i want to avoid switches here.

Sorry, i meant STP (Spanning Tree Protocol).

Cheers,
Mario

I think switches are much faster at their job than the kernel and avoiding their
use may be a mistake.

With regard to gluster, latency affects performance so if it's performance
you're looking for, lowest latency switches would be wiser.

If it's just network design you're asking for, this might not be the
most appropriate forum.
