Dear Esteemed List Members In my private time I work on Fedora guides and I would like to contribute something to kernel docs and networking related man pages. WRT doc/Documentation/networking/bonding.txt under bonding, modes, there is currently: broadcast or 3 Broadcast policy: transmits everything on all slave interfaces. This mode provides fault tolerance. How do the list members feel about changing that to: Option 1] Broadcast policy: All transmissions are sent on all slave interfaces. Useful for high availability applications where duplicate packets are sent to separate networks. Requires switch support if sending to a single network. Option 2] Broadcast policy: All transmissions are sent on all slave interfaces. Useful for high availability applications where duplicate packets are sent to separate networks. Requires switch support if sending to a single network. This mode might not work behind a bridge with virtual machines without additional switch configuration. Willing to submit patches.
