In cases where the Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK) cannot be used, it is possible to use WekaFS in User Datagram Protocol (UDP) mode through the kernel. Use net=udp in the mount command to set the UDP networking mode, for example:
mount -t wekafs -o num_cores=0 -o net=udp backend-host-0/my_fs /mnt/weka
Note: A client in UDP mode cannot be configured in HA mode. However, the client can still work with a highly available cluster.
Note: Providing multiple IPs in the <mgmt-ip> in UDP mode will utilize their network interfaces for more bandwidth (can be useful in RDMA environments), rather than using only one NIC.
