Hi,
in 23.09 we added a mechanism that will refresh MAC bindings that are still
in use [0]. Is it possible that there is some traffic flowing which will
keep those MAC bindings alive?
It also might be a coincidence, but deleted mac bindings might be populated
back again so the overall count is the same. I would suggest monitoring MAC
binding doesn't have any traffic flowing to see if it goes away.
Also the mac_binding_removal_limit option imposes delay for deletion. If
this limit is reached next aging can happen only after 5 seconds.
