[PVE-User] Bonding and packetloss

[Robert Fantini]

using netgear we had stability issues to nodes running vm's when mode 6 was
used. mode 3 is stable.

 switch to switch mode 6 works here.

 I posted to netgear managed switch forums.  [their support has been be
great].  and have  much some useless and other useful detail there. i am
not a kernel network expert , however this looks like a setting at
/etc/network/interfaces  vmbr* setting . or a kernel thing.
