Packet loss when failing back to primary slave of a bond
Issue
- Packets are lost when failing back to the primary slave of a bond after the link to that slave comes back up.
- Client pinging the RHEL server, note that pings with sequence numbers 289 and 290 do not get a response.
ping -s 192.168.12.10 1200
