Hi, look at the traffic graph of three vps from the same node.
You are right, seems the bridge sent the traffic to all the port.

I use gitco pre-compiled xen kernel, and just setup the server in the
normal way, nothing special.
the xen versions are from 3.3.1 to 3.4.2, all of these servers have
this problem.

Can you give me more advice to find out the detail of the problem?

Thank you very much.
