[ovs-discuss] OpenvSwitch 1.0.1 on XenServer 5.6 with Bonding

[Ben Pfaff]

There's nothing unusual there.  Hmm.

If you're willing to try some experiments, maybe we can learn more.

First, try commenting out the call to "bond_wait(br)" in bridge_wait()
in vswitchd/bridge.c.  Does that have any effect?

If that has no effect, then try commenting out the call to
poll_timer_wait_until(iface_stats_timer) in the same function and see if
it makes a difference.

Thanks,

Ben.
