Xen users - Nov 2008 - Scripting and Gratutious Arp on Live Migration

Does anyone know what is responsible for sending the gratuitous arp
after live migration? Is it part of the network-script of vif-script?

As far as I know, nothing does. Are you specifying a static MAC address
for your guests? This should eliminate arp cache headaches. Otherwise,
depending on your router, you''ll have a ~9 minute lag.
