Originally submitted by Kenzo Iwami; his original description is:
The current bonding driver receives duplicate packets when broadcast/
multicast packets are sent by other devices or packets are flooded by the
switch. In this patch, new flags are added in priv_flags of net_device
structure to let the bonding driver discard duplicate packets in
dev.c:skb_bond().
Modified by Jay Vosburgh to change a define name, update some
comments, rearrange the new skb_bond() for clarity, clear all bonding
priv_flags on slave release, and update the driver version.

I took this patch from linux-2.6 using git tree and applied to 2.6.16.1
together with recent "link status" fix. Unfortunately broadcast packet
duplication still occurs.
I have two e1000 NICs:
02:04.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82541GI/PI Gigabit Ethernet
Controller (rev 05)
04:03.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82541GI/PI Gigabit Ethernet
Controller (rev 05)
My configuration follows:
# echo -n 1 > /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/mode
# echo -n 100 > /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/miimon
# /sbin/ifconfig bond0 up
# ifenslave bond0 eth0 eth1
# echo -n eth0 > /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/primary
# cat /proc/net/bonding/bond0

I'm using .1Q vlans over bondig interface:
# cat /proc/net/vlan/config
VLAN Dev name | VLAN ID
Name-Type: VLAN_NAME_TYPE_PLUS_VID_NO_PAD
vlan1 | 1 | bond0
vlan2 | 2 | bond0
vlan3 | 3 | bond0
vlan4 | 4 | bond0
vlan5 | 5 | bond0
vlan6 | 6 | bond0
vlan7 | 7 | bond0
vlan18 | 18 | bond0
vlan19 | 19 | bond0
vlan33 | 33 | bond0
vlan34 | 34 | bond0
vlan37 | 37 | bond0
vlan66 | 66 | bond0
Any ideas?
Best regards,
Krzysztof Olędzki
