Thank you. Why was active-backup architected to accept packets on all
interfaces? Depending on your physical architecture that has the
potential to play havoc with the ARP tables in the switches.
I'll try installing a newer version of OVS tomorrow.
Thanks again. I really appreciate your help.

Yes, you can install a newer version of OVS on XCP. The
instructions you need are in INSTALL.XenServer.
I wouldn't say that active-backup bonding in XCP 1.1 is
"useless". It works fine in many use cases, just not in yours.

installed into XCP 1.1? If not active-backup bonding in XCP 1.1 is
useless.

I'm seeing traffic on both interfaces of an active-backup bond. This

the requirement that a bonded management interface be in active-backup
mode and since balance-slb doesn't work unless the ports are connected
to the same switch (or stack) I have the bond in active-backup mode:
The version of OVS in XCP 1.x accepts incoming packets on all
interfaces of active-backup bonds. We changed this behavior in
newer versions of OVS.
