I did a test and the failover takes about 200ms with the environment in patch 03.

Here is the full log

Code: the timer count starts after the old active port link down.
```
ip -n "${c_ns}" link set eth1 down
date +'%F %T.%3N'
ip -n ${c_ns} -d link show eth2
while ! ip -n ${c_ns} -d link show eth2 | grep -q distributing; do
        sleep 0.01
done
date +'%F %T.%3N'
ip -n ${c_ns} -d link show eth2
```
