(Get the code!)
It's strange that connectivity is interrupted when the DHCP discovery is attempted. It's not clear to me why connectivity should be interrupted at all. (For example, if an ARP entry is being cleared out, it should be added back relatively quickly.) Right now I don't know what could be changed in MAAS to make this better; I think to make progress on this issue, we need to determine exactly why connectivity is disrupted in this case.
It would be helpful to get a packet capture during the probe (and subsequent connectivity loss) to get a better idea about what's going on.
Note that the behavior changed drastically in MAAS 2.1, so it might be different if you re-test.
