I think we're discussing timeouts related to OSI levels 2 or 3. A
physical disconnect is of course immediate, but i think other factors
should be considered, like watchdog style errors, ping timeouts, and
transport layer failures.
I hope we can document points of failure and expected delays for each.

What is the average time for the carp failover to kick in... i.e.
how
much time does it take for the "backup" to become "master" and start
serving requests and vice versa? Is the timing parameter
configurable?
I have both the WAN and LAN gw as carp ip.
I as a human have never been faster then the failover, meaning that I
immediately refreshed the CARP status screen after pulling a cable
and
that it was already showing master. It is at least within a second.
Kind regards,
