 Description   

This is a major problem when running with large number of computes, as each ARP request on the external network is multiplied by the number of computes.

Should probably choose the NAPT switch as that switch?

Once [1] and [2] are both merged, we plan to remove ARP request (non-GARP) punting to controller, hoping to do all this by SR2.
Using [1] centralized switch service we should probably install this GARP punting only on the centralized switch (and add a metadata match).

Should be fine if both commits are merged this week.

Alon, is this still valid?

Koby says this is still open, assigning to Tomer who plans to fix it
