>From 70b6c67228e6d199693a3d3a85a0ab3bf0f2d06a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jason Luan Date: Fri, 28 Dec 2012 15:43:06 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] xen-netback notify frontend to send gratuitous ARP. In the real network environment, some cause will lead to Active-Backup mode bonding chose new actived port. After that, the trffic, destinated to DomU by inactived port (former actived port), will be unreachable at now. DomU should send gratutious ARP initialtivly to find the new corrected path. By netback's Connected->Connected transition, frontend will watch the change, and send gratuitous ARP.
