[Xen-users] received packet with own address as source address
Hi,
we''re running 4 xen servers on our network with multiple network cards.
During HighLoad we experince degeneration of inbound network traffic
through our loadbalancer. I might found a reason for it, in Dom0 dmesg
output looks as follows:
[1157421.975910] eth0: received packet with own address as source address
[1157421.975957] eth0: received packet with own address as source address
[1196172.762318] eth0: received packet with own address as source address
[1196172.762370] eth0: received packet with own address as source address
[1196172.762403] eth0: received packet with own address as source address
[1196172.762436] eth0: received packet with own address as source address
[1196265.876029] eth0: received packet with own address as source address
[1196265.876078] eth0: received packet with own address as source address
[1196265.876111] eth0: received packet with own address as source address
[1196265.876144] eth0: received packet with own address as source address
I did a search on google and found:
http://bugzilla.xensource.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=339 but I also
found a side that suggests to turn off arp entirely for your xenbr0.
Enclosed is my network configuration and the output for my bridges. As
you see I''m not reseting my Mac address of the physical interface to
FE:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF or turn arp off. I''m using Debian Lenny with kernl
2.6.26-2-xen-amd64
