RE: Unicasts not making it, but multicasts are ... REBOOT!

Before anyone wastes any time on this one, I just reloaded the whole lab and
it went away. A few weeks ago I had a similar OSPF-related mystery, and both
times they made no sense, I wasted hours trying to figure out the root cause
(thinking I was missing something basic, doubting myself, getting frustrated
...), then rebooted the lab and things worked as they should.

Just a friendly reminder to reboot if things like ARP start failing (which in
this case it was). Save yourself hours of wasted, precious, weekend lab
time.

With a few exceptions, secrecy is deeply incompatible with democracy and with
science.
