[Xen-users] Bridging failing (timing out)

Folks,


We have a machine which is running Xen 2.0.7  with a 2.4.30 kernel.
(tested on different hardware)

The machine is connected to 2 separate networks on eth0 and eth1.
A virtual machine is running on this Xen box and we bridge eth0 and eth1 to the
virtual machine's eth0 and eth1.
After pulling out the eth1 cable on the physical machine and waiting for a
random timeout we loose ip connection to the virtual machines.

When connecting to the consoles we also see no interrupts being generated on
outgoing/incoming pings.

Upon plugging the cable back in traffic continues.

I assume that this is somehow related to some bridging code.

We use a separate A/B network for High Availability, when network A fails
traffic should continue over network B.  With this issue however , when network
B fails traffic on network A is also interrupted.
