Real ICMP crossing both switches proves the datapath: * the cascade link reports ``kernel_datapath`` and the veth pair (``gs0/1``, a pure function of the link id) exists at once — switches are always-on, nothing defers — with each switch's bridge carrying exactly its own end as a member, both ends UP; * a dot1q trunk cascade carries two VLANs at once: hosts in VLAN 10 and VLAN 20 ping across both switches simultaneously (tagged frames cross the pair, which is what a trunk means here); * flipping both cascade ports symmetrically to access VLAN 10 (an in-place ``_reconfigure_port_vlan`` on each veth end) keeps VLAN 10 flowing untagged and kills VLAN 20; restoring the trunk revives VLAN 20. Asymmetric flips are deliberately not tested: an access end egresses untagged, and the far trunk end would park those frames in its native VLAN — symmetric modes are the only sane inter-switch configuration; * a ``delay 100`` filter lands as netem on BOTH veth ends (each direction impaired exactly once, like any two-sided kernel link) and the measured RTT grows by ~2 x 100 ms; * suspend admin-downs both ends and kills both VLANs; resume restores; * deleting the cascade link destroys the whole veth pair from either side (the host links and their anchors survive); re-creating the link mints a new pair under the new link id and the traffic returns without touching the routers; * deleting the project removes both switch bridges, both veth pairs and the router anchors — zero host residue. No relay control twin here: on the relay datapath a cascade is just two per-port uBridge UDP relays, the machinery ``test_ethernet_switch_kernel_datapath.py::test_ethernet_switch_relay_control`` already drives.
