Bug description:
  This issue is well known, and there were previous attempts to fix it,
  like this one

  https://bugs.launchpad.net/neutron/+bug/1414559

  
  This issue still exists in Rocky and gets worse. In Rocky, nova compute, nova libvirt and neutron ovs agent all run inside containers.

  So far the only simply fix I have is to increase the number of RARP
  packets QEMU sends after live-migration from 5 to 10. To be complete,
  the nova change (not merged) proposed in the above mentioned activity
  does not work.

  I am creating this ticket hoping to get an up-to-date (for Rockey and
  onwards) expert advise on how to fix in nova-neutron.

  
  For the record, below are the time stamps in my test between neutron ovs agent "activating" the VM port and rarp packets seen by tcpdump on the compute. 10 RARP packets are sent by (recompiled) QEMU, 7 are seen by tcpdump, the 2nd last packet barely made through.
