Fixed In Version: kernel-2.6.32-71.28.1.el6
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
During light or no network traffic, the active-backup interface bond using ARP monitoring with validation could go down and return due to an overflow or underflow of system timer interrupt ticks (jiffies). With this update, the jiffies calculation issues problems have been fixed and a bond interface works as expected.
