15 you want to use under Linux. If you are going to run SLIP or PPP over

523 This provides an automated failover mechanism via APIs to create
524 and destroy a failover master netdev and manages a primary and
525 standby slave netdevs that get registered via the generic failover
526 infrastructure. This can be used by paravirtual drivers to enable
9437b629 527 an alternate low latency datapath. It also enables live migration of
