Two thoughts:

1. In openshift-sdn, the bridge doesn't try to handle ARP itself. It
just lets ARP requests pass through normally, and lets ARP replies pass
through normally as long as they are correct (ie, it doesn't let
spoofing through). This means fewer flows but more traffic. Maybe that's
the right tradeoff?

2. In most places in ovn-kubernetes, our MAC addresses are
programmatically related to the corresponding IP addresses, and in
places where that's not currently true, we could try to make it true,
and then perhaps the thousands of rules could just be replaced by a
single rule?
