Hi,

I’ve been using openvswitch for my networking backend on openstack for several 
years now. Lately, as our network has grown, we’ve started noticing some 
intermittent packet drop accompanied with the following error message in 
openvswitch:

This definitely kills the connection for a few seconds before it reconnects. 
So, I’ve been wondering, what is this probe and what is really happening here? 
What’s the cause and is there a way to fix this? 

Openvswitch version is 2.9.0-3 on CentOS 7 with Openstack Pike running on it 
(but the issues show up on Queens too).
