I actually tried it with the maximum that my computer can handle. It was
around 18G for both flows and the results were more or less the same. The
throughput was stable and there were some retransmissions,
but overall the connection looked ok.

That is actually a good point, if we can prove through testing that removal
of MAC binding does not affect flow through others, which from the results
above seems to be the case, we can probably skip the whole
ownership. Which would really reduce it to checking if something went over
the threshold in northd probably. I am planning to make a bigger test with
more iperf flows 100 in similar setup and also some tests of latency to see
how much that is affected by the MAC binding removal.

In the 1) they are mentioning refresh when we observe ARP for the same
entry, for that we would probably require additional controller action that
would just bump the timestamp or something like that.
The 2) can be approached differently, a) Remove the entry periodically or
when it does not respond. b) Remove the entry when it does not respond and
it timed out.
The a) does not have any added value to the overall process as it would be
removed nevertheless.
The b) has the disadvantage that the MAC binding table would keep
destinations that are still reachable, but might not be used at all.

Anyway this approach is more up to discussion as you have written when we
find out that the first part does not prove to be efficient enough.
