> This patch enhances the behavior of TIPC's broadcast link so that it
> alternates between redundant bearers (if available) after every
> message sent, rather than after every 10 messages.  This change helps
> to speed up delivery of retransmitted messages by ensuring that
> they are not sent repeatedly over a bearer that is no longer working,
> but not yet recognized as failed.
