Hi Simon,
we are currently shuffling around responsibilities for iproute so extra latencies might occur :-/.
I have two theories:
1. the iproute package needs fixes that came later than what is in Xenial:
The package needs to be very close to the kernel version in general.
Did you have any chance to test the newer 4.9 by forcing it into a Xenial system if that works as well? If you need a ppa for that let me know and I'll create one for you.
2. the Xenial kernel has this type disabled.
If throwing in an HWE kernel [1] into xenial, does it then work for you?
