#30

I think this introduced an issue in Train (At least Train packages for Ubuntu) when using linuxbridge.

The bridges are set to the default ageing of 300 which makes instances on vlan-based networks unable to acquire network connectivity.

brctl showmacs brq.. shows that the local VM's MAC is learned from remote and thus no packets are being forwarded to it.

```
brctl showmacs brq33054c52-b8 | grep 3c:1c
  2 fa:16:3e:23:3c:1c no 24.80
  1 fe:16:3e:23:3c:1c yes 0.00
  1 fe:16:3e:23:3c:1c yes 0.00

```

Flipping ageing to 0 for that bridge solves the issue and the VM acquires DHCP from neutron and responds to network traffic.

```
brctl showmacs brq33054c52-b8 | grep 3c:1c
1 fe:16:3e:23:3c:1c yes 0.00
1 fe:16:3e:23:3c:1c yes 0.00

```

However as a side-effect it seems that packets are being duplicated for some reason..

```
64 bytes from 10.13.37.87: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.809 ms
64 bytes from 10.13.37.87: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.833 ms (DUP!)
64 bytes from 10.13.37.87: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.837 ms (DUP!)
64 bytes from 10.13.37.87: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.955 ms (DUP!)

64 bytes from 10.13.37.87: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.968 ms (DUP!)
```

Any pointers on debugging this?
