a failover event. One membership report is issued immediately after
the failover, subsequent packets are sent in each 200ms interval.

The valid range is 0 - 255; the default value is 1. A value of 0
prevents the IGMP membership report from being issued in response
to the failover event.
This option is useful for bonding modes balance-rr (0), active-backup
(1), balance-tlb (5) and balance-alb (6), in which a failover can
switch the IGMP traffic from one slave to another. Therefore a fresh
IGMP report must be issued to cause the switch to forward the incoming
IGMP traffic over the newly selected slave.
This option was added for bonding version 3.7.0.
