Subject: [PATCHv5 net-next 2/3] bonding: support aggregator selection based on port priority
Date: Tue, 2 Sep 2025 06:45:00 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250902064501.360822-3-liuhangbin@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250902064501.360822-1-liuhangbin@gmail.com>
Add a new ad_select policy 'port_priority' that uses the per-port
actor priority values (set via ad_actor_port_prio) to determine
aggregator selection.
This allows administrators to influence which ports are preferred
for aggregation by assigning different priority values, providing
more flexible load balancing control in LACP configurations.
