	Should the above state "forward it to Leaf-1 by Tunnel3", not
"to Tunnel1"?  Presumably Leaf-1 would then forward a packet with NIC1
MAC destination directly to NIC1.  You mention VXLAN split horizon
below, but I'm unclear on exactly why that results in a failure to
forward vs selecting a suboptimal path.

	My overall concern here is that this is a complex solution for a
very specific configuration, and I'm not sure exactly which piece is
doing something wrong (i.e., is Border-Leaf correct in selecting
Tunnel2?).

	And, further, this topology is outside the scope of what the tlb
/ alb modes were designed around (which was interfacing with a single
switch, not a distributed switch topology as shown above); alb's inbound
load balancing in particular wasn't set up for IPv6 (it only modifies
ARPs to assign peers to specific bonding interfaces).  That's not to say
that we can't fix up the IPv6 support, but I don't want to eventually
have a collection of band-aids for specific corner cases.

	Also, on thinking about it, I'm unsure why the tlb mode would
not exhibit the same issue, since you're not altering the alb inbound
load balancer (the "tailored ARP per peer" logic), just the regular
transmit side, which is largely the same for tlb.  Have you tested
balance-tlb mode?

	Lastly, Eric's question about not altering the original skb
isn't explictly addressed that I can see (although it seems Eric was
concerned about received packets, and this is modifying packets being
transmitted).  The code looks like it shouldn't modify NS/NA packets
that are being forwarded through the bond (the bond_slave_has_mac_rx
test), but is it possible for a locally originating NS/NA to be a clone?
