    Description

      when gatewayMetaData in GatewayMacResolverService.java selects the node to
      be used, it does not account for cases where node picked goes away.

      a better approach would be to – at least in cases of failure – elect a
      new node.

      [16:42:09] <flaviof> vishnoianil: out of whack question on: gatewayMetaData.getExternalNetworkBridgeDpid()
      [16:43:05] <flaviof> if node selected for arp responder 'goes away'... does the periodic timer select a new one?
      [16:44:42] flaviof seeing error "MAC address for gateway 192.168.111.254 can not be resolved, because external bridge 38308133524292 is not connected to controller." ... and can't find 38308133524292 (0x22D74EB0D344) anywhere in md-sal: https://gist.github.com/c000aa567944ebd85acb
      [16:57:40] <vishnoianil> flaviof, Yup, that's the case
      [16:57:58] <vishnoianil> flaviof, and we should fix it, can you open a bug for this, i will fix it.
      [16:58:15] <flaviof> no biggie. thanks
      [16:58:30] <flaviof> will open a bug, just so it does not fall thru cracks
