Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
When a system was configured using channel bonding in "mode=0" (round-robin balancing) with multicast, IGMP traffic was transmitted via a single interface. If that interface failed (due to a port, NIC or cable failure, for example), IGMP was not transmitted via another port in the group, thus resulting in packets for the previously-registered multicast group not being routed correctly.
