I am not aware of any implementation or plans to implement an
IPv6 equivalent to the ARP monitor (arp_interval, et al) in bonding.
If the blade switches support a trunk failover system (wherein
the switch will drop carrier on internal facing ports when carrier is
lost on an external port), it is possible to implement approximately
equivalent functionality using trunk failover and the bonding mii
monitor (miimon).
