Hi,
I am using the latest 2.1.4 e1000e intel Linux driver with the Linux boning
driver on RHEL 5.4
(http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/networking/bonding.txt)
If I set the miimon value to 50 milliseconds, everything works okay, but the
link down detection using netif_carrier_ok() is always about 350 msec. This is
too long for our application.
Do you know of any way to decrease this detection latency ?
I can use the arp_monitoring instead, but there are other issues doing this
(increase traffic and false positives etc).
I have also tried the "use_carrier=0" option which makes it use the deprecated
MII or ETHTOOL ioctls, but it makes no difference (still 350 msecs).
thanks in advance
Dan Woolley
