These words are used alot for HA and networking stuff, but even after reading the docs and watching the videos (very nice btw:)), it's still not 100% clear what each does or can do exactly?

Is it BRDB mirroring, restarting vm's on another server incase of failure or what?

Many thanks, a great project! :)
 
Also, cluster setup is also another thing that is unclear. Is it a master/slave setup for managing all proxmox nodes from one panel, or are there some more additions?
 
bonding - when having two or more network cards, you can combine them as a single link to create a fault tolerant network and/or increase network speed (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Link_aggregation)
bridge - when this term is used in virtualisation - the virtual network adapter is connected directly to the network (it is not behind NAT)
