[Xen-devel] Xen 3.3.1 live migration : unsolicited ARP
I would like to understand the condition that makes the live migration
 process to generate the unsolicited ARP REPLY, as I could never get it
 to be generated !
 
Do you have any pointer to help me understand the process ?
 
Here is my network architecture  :
     LAN0                                                  LAN1

If enabled, it could delay the bridge port coming up for long enough that the ARP packet gets lost.

And the bridge port is ready very quickly, if I set the following parameters value in the "ntable" of the bridge to reachable -> 12 delay_probe -> 20 ucast_probes -> 0 Then I lose only 2 ping transactions (less than 2 secs) to the migrated DOMU.
