I'd be shocked if there was an "ARP bottleneck".  LTE is not an ethernet-esque 
medium, nor is it a broadcast-capable medium (point-to-point addressing is used 
for every UE tunnel).  The only place that ARPs enter into the equation is when 
the EPC "bridges" between the UE and your ethernet network.  In that case, the 
EPC itself responds with an ARP for anyone who is asking for one from a UE with 
that IP address, and the ARP that the EPC sends bears the EPC's own MAC address 
(since UEs don't actually have MAC addresses, at least on the WAN-side).

MAC/IP pairs would need to be in your ethernet router's ARP table for any 
traffic destined to any UE, too, not just SNMP or ICMP traffic.

This is why I said I've found the source, but not yet the cause. I'm going to 
see if I can isolate SNMP from ICMP, depending on the poller's decision tree.

I'm not eliminating some kind of arp bottleneck either until I've sniffed @ the 
EPC.
