	| Hello everyone, 
 First, sorry for my bad english
   
 I have a little problem, and i don't understand.
 
 When i ping a VEs, the first ping is very slow.
 For example :
 PING toto (192.168.1.1) 56(84) bytes of data.
 64 bytes from toto (192.168.1.1): icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=718 ms
 64 bytes from toto (192.168.1.1): icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.223 ms
 64 bytes from toto (192.168.1.1): icmp_seq=3 ttl=64 time=0.284 ms
 
 After, it is good for all pings. If i try few seconds later, it's ok, but after 5mn for example the first ping will be slow again.
 
 When i try on a computer (not a VE), the first ping is often higher than the other, but not ~ 500ms or more (30 ms for example, and after 0.2ms)
 
 I tried with venet device, veth device, and it's the same thing. I try on my local network and over the internet, idem.
 With veth, when i erase the arp tables on the VE beetween each ping, the problem happens all time. Is it a clue ?
 
 I use Debian :
 Linux 2.6.18-12-fza-amd64 #1 SMP
 
 I have no firewall/iptables on the VE or the HN.
 
 I'd want to know 3 things :
 - is it normal to have this ?
 - is it possible to correct it ?
 - does it affect the performance ? For example, on a web server ?
 
 Thank you very much !

	| Hi, thank you for your help. 
 1) With veth (proxy_arp enabled) and venet :
 a) I am inside the VE, I ping any host (not a VE) on the network, the delay happens.
 b) I am on any host, I ping any VE, the delay happens.
 
 If I try after another ping, the delay doesn't happen.
 
 2) There is no difference beetween ping toto and ping 192.168.1.1 : the delay happens, i don't think this is a problem of DNS.
 
 3) The /etc/resolv.conf is the same on the HN and the VE.
 For example :
 nameserver 192.168.1.20
 
 IP of the VE : 192.168.1.1
 IP of the HN : 192.168.1.10
 
 
 
 
 I try two solutions with veth :
 - with proxy_arp enabled (I follow this tutorial :   http://wiki.openvz.org/Virtual_Ethernet_device#Simple_config uration_with_virtual_Ethernet_device). The delay happens.
 - with bridge (i bridge eth0 from the host with veth101.0 in a br0) and without proxy_arp, the delays doesn't happen.
 
 So does the problem come from the proxy_arp ?
