We currently use garp_master_repeat and garp_master_refresh to solve bug 1453855. We need to spawn keepalived only after all of the qr/qg ports have been wired so that the initial GARP will be properly sent. Otherwise you get a routing black hole. In lieu of a proper sync method, we used those two keepalived options to send GARPs repeatedly: a) We did not know it never stops spamming the network b) It causes VMs to lose their IPv6 default gateway due to a keepalived bug, which has since been fixed, but it would need to be backported to every keepalived version on every distro. Here's the patch: https://github.com/acassen/keepalived/pull/200 The solution this patch proposes is to drop the repeat and refresh keepalived options. This will fix the IPv6 bug but re-introduce bug 1453855. So, this patch uses the delay option instead. It turns out keepalived sends a GARP when it transitions to MASTER, and then it waits a number of seconds determined by the delay option, and sends a GARP again. We'll use an aggressive 'delay' setting to make sure that when the node boots and the L3/L2 agents start, we'll give the L2 agent enough time to wire the ports as a stopgap solution. Note that this only affects initial synchronization time, not failover times. Failover times will continue to be fast because the ports are wired ahead of time, the initial GARP after the state transition to MASTER will be sent properly.
