Subject: Re: [PATCH] net/bonding: Send more than one gratuitous ARP when slave
takes over
Jay,
This is a version of the patch with respect to the comments.
Please note that besides enabling set/get of the value through
sysfs, I also made num_grat_arp a per-bond parameter.
thanks
MoniS
--------------------------------------------------------------
With IPoIB, reception of gratuitous ARP by neighboring hosts
is essential for a successful change of slaves in case of failure.
Otherwise, they won't learn about the HW address change and need
to wait a long time until the neighboring system gives up and sends
an ARP request to learn the new HW address. This patch decreases
the chance for a lost of a gratuitous ARP packet by sending it more
than once. The number retries is configurable and can be set with a module param.
