2018-03-30lacp: faster convergence for slow-rate config optionSteven6-18/+29
Do fast-rate if we are not yet synchronized with the partner. Stop sending LACP updates as a flash in the worker thread. Just expire the timer and let the lacp_process handle sending LACP PDU. Change-Id: I8b36fe74e752e7f45bd4a8d70512c0341cc197a1 Signed-off-by: Steven <sluong@cisco.com>
2018-03-21bond: Add bonding driver and LACP protocolSteven22-0/+3943
Add bonding driver to support creation of bond interface which composes of multiple slave interfaces. The slave interfaces could be physical interfaces, or just any virtual interfaces. For example, memif interfaces. The syntax to create a bond interface is create bond mode <lacp | xor | acitve-backup | broadcast | round-robin> To enslave an interface to the bond interface, enslave interface TenGigabitEthernet6/0/0 to BondEthernet0 Please see src/plugins/lacp/lacp_doc.md for more examples and additional options. LACP is a control plane protocol which manages and monitors the status of the slave interfaces. The protocol is part of 802.3ad standard. This patch implements LACPv1. LACPv2 is not supported. To enable LACP on the bond interface, specify "mode lacp" when the bond interface is created. The syntax to enslave a slave interface is the same as other bonding modes.
