Could you please reply to my question I asked for v1:
Out of curiosity, what is exactly your usecase? I'm asking because
I don't see any good reason to use RLB/ALB modes. I have to be missing
something.
This is adding a lot of code in bonding that needs to be maintained.
However, if there is no particular need to add it, why would we?
Could you please spell out why exactly do you need this? I'm pretty sure
that in the end well find out, that you really don't need this at all.
Thanks!
