[c-nsp] ARP requests

Eugene,

Did the interface had IP address assigned in the past to main interface and then changed to subinterface ones? I remember couple of nasty 7200-impacting bugs in 15.x train (so called “CEF rewrite” or “not 13.x”) that had stale IDB entries wrongly mapped to CEF structures and that could potentially result in similar behavior.

Also, can you identify if those ARP requests are valid, belonging to subinterface link space, or totally bogus? And if they happen both on the main interface and subinterface, or only on main interface?

Working with TAC would be probably best option going forward.
