Just so I'm clear, the rewrite happens because the "looped" frame bears the source MAC of the VM behind the bridge, but is arriving at the bridge via the bond, correct? If so this change seems reasonable, with one minor nit, below. >Cc: Jay Vosburgh <j.vosburgh@gmail.com> >Cc: Veaceslav Falico <vfalico@gmail.com> >Cc: Andy Gospodarek <andy@greyhouse.net> >Cc: "David S.

Multicast traffic going out the non-primary interface can come back in through the primary interface in alb mode. When there's a bridge sitting on top of the bond, with virtual machines behind it, attached to vnetX interfaces also acting as bridge ports, this can cause problems. The multicast traffic ends up rewriting the bridge forwarding database entries, replacing a vnetX entry in the fdb with the bond instead, at which point, we lose traffic. If we don't tx balance multicast traffic, we don't break connectivity.
