+        Also there is a case where a third “bond” attachment interface is used in
+        the pod, bonding the two direct interfaces so that the application do not
+        need to handle the redundancy issues – application just uses the bond interface.
+        In this case, all three attachments are together making up a logical
+        “switch-path-redundant” network interface represented by a single extCpdData.
+        When three NADs are used in the extCpdData the NAD implementing the bond attachment
