Hello,
After ugprading to OpenStack 2025.2 with OVN 25.09.2 (which contains split buf fix) seems like no issues with DHCP, but I see a lot of missed ARP, VM unable to reach GW and there is no ARP broadcasted to some of VMs. Debugging shows that ovn installs drop arp flows for some reason.

Hi,
Returning back to this issue after a while as I'm migrating ml2/ovs to ml2/ovn.
Seems like the same issue from 2025 still persists.

refs:
[0] https://mail.openvswitch.org/pipermail/ovs-discuss/2025-February/053456.html [1] https://mail.openvswitch.org/pipermail/ovs-discuss/2025-March/053484.html

case:
Big L2 domain with border device learning IPs by flooding ARP. For some reason in case L2 device (nic with VLANs attached) is attached to the br-ex bridge, then after a while OVN stops sending DHCP packets (OFFER/ACK/etc).

Anybody else observed the same issue? The only way to stabilize region is to switch to L3 networking using ovn-bgp-agent (eth0 is detached from br-ex, so no more ARPs delivered to ovn-controller), but there is monstrous overhead using kernel routing: IRQ higher up to x5-6 times, like 10-12% while L2 networking is just 2% which is fine.

Meanwhile, no errors, warns, resubmit logs in logs.
