Thank you for suggestion, my workaround is sending arp replies with arpsend for all VE ip's every 5 minutes interval. I think this problem is not a common one, so in my opinion this may be something other than openvz, may be a misconfigured switch (or switch's arp table size?) or router or a different configuration option in switch/router. Also, it may be related with kernel or proc/net/arp variables, but I can not figure out what the thing is exactly about.

In my syctl.conf there is a line "net.ipv4.conf.default.proxy_arp = 0" does this must be 1? In wiki this setting is "0" but why 0? Isnt it must "1" ?

Gregor at HostGIS yazmış:
in a period of time some of my VE's (both on subnet1 and subnet2) loses connections.

I've had a long-standing problem, as well, with HNs and VPSs randomly losing connectivity for seconds at a time. It's been enough to set off Nagios, to delay SMTP, etc.

My workaround (I won't call it a "solution") was to write a simple "gratuitous ARP daemon" or "garpd" This works on the same principle as you discovered: if I retransmit ARP, it solves the problem for a little while.

If you want the garpd code, assuming the folks here can't provide a real fix, I'm glad to post it to the list and/or wiki.
