Comment 7 for bug 1011134

We hit this bug in our Essex-based SUSE Cloud 1.0 deployment which does not use IPv6, so I think the patch is incomplete.
After reading http://wikibon.org/wiki/v/Edge_Virtual_Bridging I am rather sure that hairpin_mode (meant to be implemented in managed switches and working on Ethernet layer) is not the right approach to solve bug 933640 which is an IP-layer problem.
Btw: Did anyone manage to ping a floating IP from the VM it is assigned to? did not work for me.
