	Normally, bonding will drop duplicate frames (received on inactive

min_links



	Specifies the minimum number of links that must be active before

	asserting carrier. It is similar to the Cisco EtherChannel min-links

	feature. This allows setting the minimum number of member ports that

	must be up (link-up state) before marking the bond device as up

	(carrier on). This is useful for situations where higher level services

	such as clustering want to ensure a minimum number of low bandwidth

	The default value is 0. This will cause carrier to be asserted (for

	802.3ad mode) whenever there is an active aggregator, regardless of the

	number of available links in that aggregator. Note that, because an

	aggregator cannot be active without at least one available link,

	setting this option to 0 or to 1 has the exact same effect.
