[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 | | +-----+-----------------------------------------------------+-----+ | | | | | eth0 eth1 | | | | | | +---------------+--------------------+ | | | | | | | | | | +---------+---------+ +--------+--------+ | | | | | | | | | | | | | eth0.2 | | eth0.3 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | vif1.0 vif1.1 | | vif2.0 vif2.1 | | | | | | tap1.0 tap1.1 | | tap2.0 tap2.1 | | | | | +------+-------+----+ +----+-------+----+ | | | | | | | | | | | | +------+-------+-----------+-------+------+ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | +----+-------+----+ +----+-------+----+ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | eth0 eth1 | | eth0 eth1 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | +-+-+ | | | +-+-+ | | | +-+-+ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | lvs ssh | | ssh www j2ee| | ssh www j2ee| | nfs | | | | | | | | | | Domain0 | | Domain1 | | Domain2 | | Domain0 | +-----------+ +-----------------+ +-----------------+ +-----------+ I am working with Xen 3.3.1. Dom0 is an OpenSuse 11.1 kernel 2.6.27.21-0.1-xen Thanks for your advices and help Olivier _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel

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.
