For every incoming frame to bonding it searches the > destination address in slaves list and if any of slave addresses matches, it > rewrites the address in frame by the adress of bonding master. This ensures that > all frames comming thru the bonding in alb mode have the same address. > > Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko I don't like the hook, but if that's how it's best done.... Patrick, please review this.
