Yes, ARP is a new twist on network problems.  I'm guessing you're using
hvm without stubdoms, which means that its networking originates from
qemu within dom0, whereas PV and HVM+stubdom comes via netback.

Yes, when I mentioned hvm I was talking about hvm without stubdoms. I haven= 't tried those yet.

But aside from that, I'm stumped.  Are you running any firewalls on
either side?   Can you try disabling all the offloads (tx, rx, gso, tso)
on all the relevent interfaces (bridge, netback, within the guest) and
see if that changes anything?

    J

Ok, this is the bridge interface:

I'm not using firewall other than the rules defined by libvirt. DomU has no= firewall and the rules in dom0 are only these (virbr0 is natted to the out= side, virbr1 is routed. The result is the same in either one of them):

And these are the various offload parameters as set at boot:

Offload parameters for virbr0:
rx-checksumming: on
tx-checksumming: on
scatter-gather: on
tcp-segmentation-offload: on
udp-fragmentation-offload: on
generic-segmentation-offload: on
generic-receive-offload: off
large-receive-offload: off

Offload parameters for vif1.0:
rx-checksumming: on
tx-checksumming: on
scatter-gather: on
tcp-segmentation-offload: on
udp-fragmentation-offload: off
generic-segmentation-offload: on
generic-receive-offload: off
large-receive-offload: off

Offload parameters for eth0:
rx-checksumming: on
tx-checksumming: on
scatter-gather: on
tcp-segmentation-offload: on
udp-fragmentation-offload: off
generic-segmentation-offload: off
generic-receive-offload: off
large-receive-offload: off

To disable all checksuming I run the following commands:
dom0:

sudo ethtool -K virbr0 tx off sg off tso off gso off gro off
sudo ethtool -K vif1.0 tx off sg off tso off gso off gro off

domU

sudo ethtool -K eth0 tx off sg off tso off gso off gro off

This managed to get all parameter to off in the mentioned interfaces, but u= nfortunately the result is the same. The arp requests get to vif1.0, but no= t to eth0 on the domU.

sudo tcpdump -i vif1.0 -n -vv arp
tcpdump: WARNING: vif1.0: no IPv4 address assigned

I hope this information is enough. If I can provide anything else to help d= ebug or test, please just ask! ;)

Thanks in advance,
