Carp is Switching serval times a day

Hi at all,
i have a small Setup with 2 Pfsense 2.3.1 (actual version)
From the beginnen on i have a lot of trouble with CARP Failover.I see a lot of thinks like that:
carp: VHID 5@igb2: BACKUP -> MASTER (master down)
carp: demoted by 240 to 240 (interface down)
carp: VHID 1@igb0: BACKUP -> MASTER (master down)
carp: demoted by 240 to 240 (interface down)
carp: demoted by 240 to 480 (interface down)
carp: VHID 4@igb1: BACKUP -> MASTER (master down)
carp: VHID 2@igb1: BACKUP -> MASTER (master down)
carp: VHID 6@igb2: BACKUP -> MASTER (master down)

carp: VHID 1@igb0: BACKUP -> MASTER (master down)
carp: demoted by 240 to 240 (interface down)
carp: VHID 1@igb0: BACKUP -> MASTER (master down)
carp: demoted by 240 to 240 (interface down)
carp: VHID 1@igb0: BACKUP -> MASTER (master down)After 1-2 Seconds it switched backup to Master. It seems there i some problems with igmp or somethink like that.
Any ideas how i can debug that issue?
Maybe its to much broadcast because i have a big Proxmox Cluster which sends also a lot of broadcast for cluster messages.I Am Thinking to rebuild my network with 2 bgp routers and just do norma routing with 2 serperated networks. All clients use LAGG interfaces then active/pasive
Somethink like that because CARP seems not working.
Cheers
Daniel

It looks like (as expected) carp: interface down is an actual carrier loss on the interface. Here are two CARP events on a backup node. The first is a unplug/plug of the patch cable. The second is removing the interface from the same VLAN as the master node, which leaves the interface up but stops CARP advertisement reception.
