[ovs-dev] [PATCH 3/3] lacp: New "lacp-heartbeat" mode.

Ethan Jackson ethan at nicira.com
Fri May 6 20:02:11 UTC 2011


This commit creates a new heartbeat mode for LACP.  This mode
treats LACP as a protocol simply for monitoring link status.  It
strips out most of the sanity checks built into the protocol.
Addition of this mode makes "lacp-force-aggregatable" and
"lacp-strict" options obsolete so they are removed.
