Whatever is used, there is a link state detection implemented as a heartbeat protocol. Even on DC the probing can be done periodically while the link is up. My point is that there are such things and it's basically the same as the kernel reporting !IFF_RUNNING. I cannot imagine that you want the kernel to disable the relevant connected routes to handle this case. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
