Hi, thanks for your response!
I understand the need to split a "change" event into 2 separate events, I
don't really understand why there needs to be a 2 seconds delay between
each. Surely other network drivers do not artificially add that delay?
In my case a lot of events are received (instead of a single
disconnect/reconnect) and they are all tailed and processed sequentially,
in practice the VM is not usable for a minute or so. It happens "by
surprise", I have no idea what is causing this.
I don't think I have a way to dig into the way Windows or Hyper-V are sending
these events, so I am living with the patch to reduce the delay. What would
you think of first adding a log in this fashion

to inform the user that something is wrong and events are being stacked
unnecessarily? Hopefully someone will notice and more users would be able to
chime in and report.
