<DIV><FONT face="MS UI Gothic" size=2>Hi folks</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="MS UI Gothic" size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="MS UI Gothic" size=2>I have problem, bonding with ARP link
monitoring. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="MS UI Gothic" size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="MS UI Gothic" size=2>My testbed is simple, only two mobile
nodes with 2 wireless interfaces, each node.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="MS UI Gothic" size=2>I planned to demonstrate bonding
technology with ARP link monitoring, bonding mode 0
(balance-rr).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="MS UI Gothic" size=2>When I use MII monitoring for bonding, It
was OK (bonding mode: 0,1,2,3).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="MS UI Gothic" size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="MS UI Gothic" size=2>But when I tried bonding with ARP link
monitoring, It seams to be some problem. There was not any connection between
nodes (between bonded interfaces). Each nodes sending ARP packets.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="MS UI Gothic" size=2>Also, I have not any boning error message
when I configure bonding driver and interface.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="MS UI Gothic" size=2>Status bonding is DOWN in the
"/proc/net/bonding/bond0".</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="MS UI Gothic" size=2>I used this command on both nodes :
"modprobe bonding mode=2 arp_interval=1000 arp_ip_target=10.0.0.1"</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="MS UI Gothic" size=2></FONT> </DIV>

cards</FONT></FONT></DIV>
