Why does /proc/net/bond0/bonding show that the network interface card's link is up when the cable is unplugged within a bonding environment?
Issue
When a network interface card cable is unplugged, the link should become "down" in /proc/net/bond0/bonding. Sometimes, unfortunately, the link still shows up even though the cable is unplugged.
