I've asked the maintainer of Foobar Linux, a RHEL-based distribution,
for details. He found a neighbor discovery cleanup patch from way back
in 2014 that solved the problem for him. The problem symptoms vary,
depending on the NIC and how protocols are stacked (bond, vlan, etc.).
Also, some cases only show up when Shorewall Multi-ISP is configured.

I experienced the problem on Debian 8 for a while.

One user who had the problem recently, found that specifying the
upstream router's link-local IP as the gateway (rather than its global
IP) solved the problem for him.
