Are you using the veth or vnet drivers?  If it's vnet, I don't have a
clue.  I depend on IPv6 for a lot of things and vnet is not IPv6

veth
Though it's IPv4, not 6. And it's very vanilla: static IPs in all VEs, no DHCP or SMB services at all.


Often it's very transitive.  Bridges tend to
"stall out" as things get added to them and they relearn their MAC
deliveries, but that's usually only seconds.

Hrm. I'm seeing minutes sometimes, in this case hours until I stumbled across pinging out.

So far I've not seen a pattern; different VEs on different HNs, sometimes the same one 2-3 times in a night, sometimes 2-3 different ones over a week, sometimes only 1 in a week. This is the first time though, where it lasted more than 10 minutes.


Like I said, I'm wondering whether it's some ARP announcement issue with the veth, the Ethernet bonding, and the 2 switches.

I'm also wondering whether switching to venet could solve this, as well as provide other benefits such as performance and security. We do not use DHCP, SMB, or other MAC-based services, nor IPv6, so these omissions from venet would be acceptable.
