It seems that some other system in the network is using the same mac in
your EVM or there is a loop detected in your network which leads that
ALE is learning that there is system with your MAC and updating the ALE
table that the mac is there and which leads your own packet will be
forwarded to that port and not to host port.
When ever you start a transmission the ALE learns the host port MAC is x
and updates ALE table with that port number and so there in your network
is working.
