[PATCH] bonding: replicate IGMP traffic in activebackup mode
Replicate IGMP frames across all slaves in activebackup mode. This ensures fail-over is rapid for multicast traffic as well. Otherwise, multicast traffic will be lost until the next IGMP membership report poll timeout. This is conceptually similar to the treatment of IGMP traffic in bond_alb_xmit. In that case, IGMP traffic transmitted on any slave is re-routed to the active slave in order to ensure that multicast traffic continues to be directed to the active receiver. Signed-off-by: John W.
