[ovs-discuss] question about bond

[Cristina Palomo Regidor]

Hello,
I would like to ask again in case someone knows something different than Ben Pfaff:
 When you create a bond using the following command:

ovs-vsctl add-bond virbr0 bond0 eth4 eth6

What is the port active and what is the port backup?

Thanks.

There's no notion of priority between the ports.  The initially active port is not predictable.
