Hey,
I'm getting a lot of multicast requests from proxmox,
I'm currently running 15 nodes from which 13 are online ( 2 at other location with no network )

HI,
these packets are coming from corosync and are essential for it to work as intended!
 
but so many ?
its flooding quite alot.
getting 20 ish packets a second
This is nothing unusual, especially if you have many nodes. Do you experience any issues?

WIth the nodes/proxmox itself not,
but my whole network gets alot of packets.
also thanks for taking your time replying to me.
 
no i have not done this yet.
should it be just its own subnet or ?
is there a way to "delay" the syncs ?
No, it should be on a physically separate network as corosync requires low latency to work. Delaying the syncs is not what you want.

also is vlans an option ?
is there any way to make it "peer to peer" instead of multicast ?

enable igmp snooping and igmp querier on your physical switch to filter multicast.

Another way is to use a dedicated vlan for proxmox corosync
will setup vlans tomorrow.
thanks.
