[Xen-devel] bridge + arp

[Moritz Möller <m.moeller@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

this is propably bridge related and not really a xen problem, but it
might help someone:

Some of our domUs are not able to arp. Arp -n show (incomplete), and
doing a tcpdump shows, that on the dom0's eth0 the arp request goes out,
the response comes in, but on the vifX.0 interface the arp response is
gone. 

dom0# tcpdump -ni eth0
arp who-has 10.32.2.51 tell 10.32.7.70
arp reply 10.32.2.51 is-at 00:30:48:34:44:6c

dom0# tcpdump -ni br0
arp who-has 10.32.2.51 tell 10.32.7.70
arp reply 10.32.2.51 is-at 00:30:48:34:44:6c

dom0# tcpdump -ni vif3.0
arp who-has 10.32.2.51 tell 10.32.7.70

Does someone know why the dom0 br0 or vif eats the arp response?

Thanks a lot,

Moritz
