Engineering Team, which is subscribed to neutron. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1831404 Title: rarp packet will be dropped in flows cause vm connectivity broken after live-migration Status in neutron: Fix Released Bug description: When we live-migration a VM, at the moment of VM start in destination nodes, the VM will send 5 rarp packets(broadcast) to trigger mac learn for switch, then other same network VMs can send packets to this VM directly, but actually these rarp packets will be dropped in flows of br-int, they won't trigger mac learn for switch, then the connectivity of other VMs to this VM will be broken, they need a broadcast to search the new position of this VM, it will waste some few seconds. Without live-migration, you can use nping command in VM to simulate rarp packets sent from VM: nping --arp --arp-type rarp --arp-target-mac <vm-mac> --ether-type rarp <vm-dhcp-host-ip> For example: nping --arp --arp-type rarp --arp-target-mac fa:16:3e:02:49:d3 --ether-type rarp 192.168.111.2 And you can use tcpdump to capture these packets, and also you can see these packets are dropped in (table 71 , priority=10, in_port=16), 16 is the tap device port in br-int # ovs-ofctl show br-int | grep 02:49:d3 16(tap80be4c89-6d): addr:fe:16:3e:02:49:d3 # # ovs-ofctl dump-flows br-int | grep table=71 | grep in_port=16 | grep priority=10 cookie=0xbb76a2777919bc71, duration=1037.306s, table=71, n_packets=13, n_bytes=594, idle_age=12, priority=10,ct_state=-trk,reg5=0x10,in_port=16 actions=drop # # tcpdump 'rarp or arp' -i tap80be4c89-6d -nne tcpdump: WARNING: tap80be4c89-6d: no IPv4 address assigned tcpdump: verbose output suppressed, use -v or -vv for full protocol decode listening on tap80be4c89-6d, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size 65535 bytes 10:11:11.895958 fa:16:3e:02:49:d3 > ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff, ethertype Reverse ARP (0x8035), length 42: Reverse Request who-is fa:16:3e:02:49:d3 tell fa:16:3e:02:49:d3, length 28 10:11:12.896280 fa:16:3e:02:49:d3 > ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff, ethertype Reverse ARP (0x8035), length 42: Reverse Request who-is fa:16:3e:02:49:d3 tell fa:16:3e:02:49:d3, length 28 10:11:13.897538 fa:16:3e:02:49:d3 > ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff, ethertype Reverse ARP (0x8035), length 42: Reverse Request who-is fa:16:3e:02:49:d3 tell fa:16:3e:02:49:d3, length 28 10:11:14.898815 fa:16:3e:02:49:d3 > ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff, ethertype Reverse ARP (0x8035), length 42: Reverse Request who-is fa:16:3e:02:49:d3 tell fa:16:3e:02:49:d3, length 28 10:11:15.900093 fa:16:3e:02:49:d3 > ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff, ethertype Reverse ARP (0x8035), length 42: Reverse Request who-is fa:16:3e:02:49:d3 tell fa:16:3e:02:49:d3, length 28 ^C 5 packets captured 5 packets received by filter 0 packets dropped by kernel # ovs-ofctl dump-flows br-int | grep table=71 | grep in_port=16 | grep priority=10 cookie=0xbb76a2777919bc71, duration=1063.414s, table=71, n_packets=18, n_bytes=804, idle_age=8, priority=10,ct_state=-trk,reg5=0x10,in_port=16 actions=drop You can see 5 rarp packets are captured by tcpdump, and in the drop flow, the count of n_packets was increased from 13 to 18, this means these 5 rarp packets are dropped by this flow.
