+ The valid range is 0 - 255; the default value is 1. A value of 0
+ prevents the IGMP membership report from being issued in response
+ to the failover event.
+
+ This option is useful for bonding modes balance-rr (0), active-backup
+ (1), balance-tlb (5) and balance-alb (6), in which a failover can
+ switch the IGMP traffic from one slave to another. Therefore a fresh
+ IGMP report must be issued to cause the switch to forward the incoming
+ IGMP traffic over the newly selected slave.
+
+ This option was added for bonding version 3.7.0.
