Hi,
- always become a backbone gw for a VLAN when there is traffic, even if there are no claims, to let at least let other backbone gw nodes that we are able to receive on that VLAN and avoid broadcast loops.
could you give some more details on this change ? Why is it not necessary without VLANs ?
Actually it's also useful for cases without VLANs, e.g. if there has not been any traffic yet. However if there is traffic it soon happens in both directions and therefore claims are added and situation resolves automatically.
I had the situation that on some VLANs there were no traffic at all for some time and when it suddenly started, the bla system did some weird things.
