Hi Georgios,
Based on the code (
https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/3658e1015a2f7cb7c321cc1a0adfda37757fd80b/nova/network/linux_net.py#L754)
it looks like the command that Nova executes is:
arping -U ip
-A -I device
-c count
You could add a line in that file after the arping command to log if it
actually executed:
LOG.debug('arping for ip %s was sent', ip)
