Most of these changes should not change user-visible behavior.  One
place where they do is in "ovs-ofctl dump-flows", which will now output
"subs:..." inside "bundle" actions instead of "slaves:...".  I don't
expect this to cause real problems in most systems.  The old syntax
is still supported on input for backward compatibility.

+Enabling and Disabling Sub-Interfaces
+-------------------------------------
 
-When a bond is created, a slave is initially enabled or disabled based on
-whether carrier is detected on the NIC (see ``iface_create()``).  After that, a
-slave is disabled if its carrier goes down for a period of time longer than the
-downdelay, and it is enabled if carrier comes up for longer than the updelay
-(see ``bond_link_status_update()``).  There is one exception where the updelay
-is skipped: if no slaves at all are currently enabled, then the first slave on
-which carrier comes up is enabled immediately.

 The updelay should be set to a time longer than the STP forwarding delay of the
 physical switch to which the bond port is connected (if STP is enabled on that
-switch).  Otherwise, the slave will be enabled, and load may be shifted to it,
-before the physical switch starts forwarding packets on that port, which can
-cause some data to be "blackholed" for a time.  The exception for a single
-enabled slave does not cause any problem in this regard because when no slaves
-are enabled all output packets are blackholed anyway.
-
-When a slave becomes disabled, the vswitch immediately chooses a new output
-port for traffic that was destined for that slave (see
-``bond_enable_slave()``).  It also sends a "gratuitous learning packet",
-specifically a RARP, on the bond port (on the newly chosen slave) for each MAC
-address that the vswitch has learned on a port other than the bond (see
-``bundle_send_learning_packets()``), to teach the physical switch that the new
-slave should be used in place of the one that is now disabled.  (This behavior

+has not yet learned the correct sub-interface for that MAC.
 
-Bonding only accepts multicast (and broadcast) packets on a single bond slave
-(the "active slave") at any given time.  Multicast packets received on other
-slaves are dropped.  Otherwise, every multicast packet would be duplicated,
-once for every bond slave, because the physical switch attached to the bond

+packets received on other sub-interfaces are dropped.  Otherwise, every
+multicast packet would be duplicated, once for every bond sub-interface,
+because the physical switch attached to the bond will flood those packets.
 
 Bonding also drops received packets when the vswitch has learned that the
 packet's MAC is on a port other than the bond port itself.  This is because it
 is likely that the vswitch itself sent the packet out the bond port on a
-different slave and is now receiving the packet back.  This occurs when the
-packet is multicast or the physical switch has not yet learned the MAC and is
-flooding it.  However, the vswitch makes an exception to this rule for
+different sub-interface and is now receiving the packet back.  This occurs when
+the packet is multicast or the physical switch has not yet learned the MAC and
+is flooding it.  However, the vswitch makes an exception to this rule for
 broadcast ARP replies, which indicate that the MAC has moved to another switch,
 probably due to VM migration.  (ARP replies are normally unicast, so this
 exception does not match normal ARP replies.  It will match the learning
 packets sent on bond fail-over.)
 
-The active slave is simply the first slave to be enabled after the bond is
-created (see ``bond_choose_active_slave()``).  If the active slave is disabled,
-then a new active slave is chosen among the slaves that remain active.
-Currently due to the way that configuration works, this tends to be the
-remaining slave whose interface name is first alphabetically, but this is by no
-means guaranteed.

 Bond Packet Output
 ------------------
 
-When a packet is sent out a bond port, the bond slave actually used is selected

-In particular, the source MAC and VLAN tag are hashed into one of 256 values,
