Hello,

I was reading the handbook and stumbled upon the following sentence:

"Failover allows traffic to continue to flow even if an interface becomes
available."


In my understanding it should say unavailable, as if one of the links was
no longer passing traffic, therefore the failover feature redirects traffic
to the remaining interface that is active.

The webpage is the following:

http://www5.us.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/network-aggregation.html


Thank you for all the hard work on FreeBSD.


Cordially,
Rafael
