I don't think there is really a disadvantage of fast mode. Most implementations default to slow so I followed. LACP isn't really intended to be used as a link state detection protocol, it's really only intended for bonding configuration information. This information changes very slowly (e.g. only when someone moves a cable), and in most cases changes cause transmits anyway. Without a reason to enable fast by default, I think people choose slow cause it spits less stuff on the wire. _______________________________________________ dev mailing list [email protected] http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/dev
