The state of an on-demand interface must be visible, typically an on-demand interface is in dormant state and goes to up while it is in use and back to dormant after some time of inactivity. Further, if the interface knows that a demand cannot be met it must announce this so an alternative can be selected, typically this would be the carrier/link state. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
