Title:
  prevent_arp_spoofing in liberty prevents applications

Status in neutron:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  In Liberty the default option is: prevent_arp_spoofing = True
  If a VM is configured with subnet mask different to /24, e.g. a /20, then if an application is listening to same subnet (but not if it was /24), it won't reply to arp requests. 

  For example, 
  VM A interface is 10.1.2.3/20 and there is an application listening to 10.1.3.4 on the same VM.
  VM B interface is 10.1.2.4/20.

  If you ping 10.1.3.4 from VM B, neutron will not forward arp reply to VM B. So, even if both A and B are on the same subnet, they cannot exchange arp requests, so they cannot connect to applications running. 
  Ping works if you ping from VM B the VM A in 10.1.2.3.
