Hi Fernando,
I understand the concern. To clarify, I am a student, and I discovered
these issues while reading the HSR source to learn about network
redundancy. Since I lack industrial hardware, I verified the logic
using network namespaces and veth pairs on my Arch laptop. The code
and logic are entirely my. As previously mentioned, I only use AI for
English translation and formatting to ensure my communication is
clear. As requested, I will wait for Felix's review before proceeding
with any changes for v5.
Best regards,
Luka Gejak
