Hi Jay, Thanks for your quick notes. I'm looking forward to see the patch and then better understand the impact on bridges and how VLANs are going along with bonds and bridges, but the way are later two coexist peacefully? I remember discussions in the past whether one can bridge bonds and/or bond bridges, however, I wasn't sure what was the conclusion and what is possible, I would be more interested to see that the specific case of a bond connected to a bridge is supported. We are going into the Passover vacation and as such I would be somehow slow in responding over the next week or so. Or.
