** Description changed: [Impact] - * Incomplete cherrypick of ARP functionality in networkd resulted in an - undesired side-effect, specifically NOARP flag started to be applied - unconditionally, specifically when it should not have, resulting in loss - of network connectivity. + * Setting [Link] MTUBytes= in .network file has a side-effect of + overflowing and setting NOARP flag.

Hence you suddenly lose network connectivity on upgrade. Very bad for a SRU. Plus adding "ARP=yes" to the Link section of a .network file does not work. Before this update, bond interfaces (specifically 802.3ad) were defaulting to ARP enabled. After the upgrade, they are created with NOARP set on the link. pre-upgrade: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,SLAVE,UP,LOWER_UP> eth1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,SLAVE,UP,LOWER_UP> bond0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,MASTER,UP,LOWER_UP> post-upgrade: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,NOARP,SLAVE,UP,LOWER_UP> eth1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,NOARP,SLAVE,UP,LOWER_UP> bond0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,NOARP,MASTER,UP,LOWER_UP> Linux cnode11 4.4.0-97-generic #120-Ubuntu SMP Tue Sep 19 17:28:18 UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
