Is this something that I should care about? I don't see an obvious
impact to the machine.
This means normaly two things: Packets you send out are returning or there is another PC with the same address. The Linuxkernel drops this packets as he think its a knd of address spoofing. If all networking is working fine you will only have a minimal impact on performance. But it could indicate that something with your network configuration is wrong
Arnd, thanks for your response. My network configuration appears to be
OK; it is simple, one NIC and its IP address, and everything seems to be
working well. Also, there are no two machines with the same address. So,
I am wondering if this is a problem with Xen. I have opened up a
bugzilla report, as I would like to have a definitive answer as to
whether this is a bug or a network configuration issue.

Only one NIC and peth1 ??

Take a look at your ifconfig output. Maybe there are two Virtual-Interfaces witch the same MAC.

Arnd
