NIC bonding over bridged GRE-TAP: not getting replies... unless I run "tcpdump"?

Question

I have the shiny app below in which I pass the values of a list with characters inside a selectImput() but while all those values seem to be selected (and they should be) by checking their count in the third column the selectize inputs seem to be empty. I think that for this issue is responsible the list words I created.

library(shiny)
library(DT)
library(jsonlite)

selector <- function(id, values, items = values){
  options <- HTML(paste0(mapply(
    function(value, item){
      as.character(tags$option(value = value, item))
    }, c("", values), c("", items)
  ), collapse = ""))
  as.character(
    tags$select(
      id = id, class = "form-control", multiple = "multiple", options
    )
  )
}

name<-c("Jack","Bob","Jack","Bob")
item<-c("apple","olive","banana","tomato")
d<-data.frame(name,item,stringsAsFactors = FALSE)

words<-tapply(d$item, d$name, I)


nrows <- length(words)

js <- c(
  "function(settings) {",
  sprintf("var nrows = %d;", nrows),
  sprintf("var words = %s;", toJSON(words)),
  "  var table = this.api().table();",
  "  function selectize(i) {",
  "    $('#slct' + i).selectize({",
  "      items: words[i-1],",
  "      onChange: function(value) {",
  "        table.cell(i-1, 2).data(value.length);",
  "      }",
  "    });",
  "  }",
  "  for(var i = 1; i <= nrows; i++) {",
  "    selectize(i);",
  "    Shiny.setInputValue('slct' + i, words[i-1]);",
  "  }",
  "}"
)

ui <- fluidPage(
  br(),
  DTOutput("table"),
  div( # this is a hidden selectize input whose role is to make
    # available 'selectize.js'
    style = "display: none;",
    selectInput("id", "label", c("x", "y"))
  )
)

server <- function(input, output, session) {
  
  output[["table"]] <- renderDT({
    dat <- data.frame(
      FOO = c(unique(d$name)),
      Words = vapply(
        1:nrows,
        function(i){
          selector(paste0("slct", i), words[[i]])
        },
        character(1)
      ),
      Count = lengths(words),
      stringsAsFactors = FALSE
    )
    
    datatable(
      data = dat,
      selection = "none",
      escape = FALSE,
      rownames = FALSE,
      options = list(
        initComplete = JS(js),
        preDrawCallback = JS(
          'function() { Shiny.unbindAll(this.api().table().node()); }'
        ),
        drawCallback = JS(
          'function() { Shiny.bindAll(this.api().table().node()); }'
        )
      )
    )
  }, server = FALSE)
  
  
}

shinyApp(ui, server)

Solution

Does it work without the bonding piece? I suspect the issue is that the LACP messages aren't getting across the bridge until you put it in promiscuous mode.

If you're using a 3.5 or higher kernel, it might also help to enable transmission of IGMP queries for the bridge interface. This could help the bridge subscribe to the LACP multicast group.

echo -n 1 > /sys/devices/virtual/net/vpn_br/bridge/multicast_querier

Yes, as described, the bridge itself (without bonding) works. Indeed, activating promiscous mode helps (see 'Update' section). This is a 2.6.32 kernel, which might be the reason there is no /sys/devices/virtual/net/vpn_br/ directory (only lo and venet0 in there).

thanks the inputs in selectize in second column still seem to be empty when the app is launched for 1st time

[firmo23]

in which part of the code is set that all the values should be selected and displayed by default inside the selectInput()?

[Stéphane Laurent]

@firmo23 Sorry, the problem was not the factors but the names ; see my edit. Regarding your question, this is the items option in selectize (in the JS code).
