Did this issue occur in a previous version of Ubuntu, or is this a new issue?
Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest v3.15 kernel[0]. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'. If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag: 'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'. If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, for example it will not boot, please add the tag: 'kernel-unable-to-test-upstream'. Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as "Confirmed". Thanks in advance.

VM B is terminated, and another VM is created that uses the IP address from VM B The new VM tries to make a tcp connection to VM A. In some cases, the connection fails. Investigation reveals that VM A has the old MAC address in its neighbor list. In some cases, running arp -d <IP Address> on VM A "fixes the problem". Also in some cases, running arping in gratuitous arp mode on the new VM also fixes the problem. The problem does not occur if VM A is running an ubuntu 10.04-based image. The problem seems to occur only on machines with lots of tcp connection traffic between them. 'arp -d' and arping on the new VM do not seem to "fix" the problem if there are processes on the VMs that are trying to create new TCP connections.
