      Description of problem:

      Customers have suffered major downtimes during live-migration with bridge CNI. This was caused by:
      1. Auto-configuration of IPv6 address on the veth side in container netns is done during target pod setup
      2. This issues neighbor solicitation advertising a new source of the MAC assigned to the veth (before it is reassigned to the guest)
      3. This confuses network hardware into thinking that the MAC is now available on a different part of the network - breaking connections to the source, even before the migration is completed
      
      I suspect we have the same issue happening with localnet.

      Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

      4.16

      How reproducible:

      Needs to be checked

      Steps to Reproduce:

      1. See the reproducer of https://issues.redhat.com/browse/CNV-28040
      2. Run LM and listen to neighbor solicitation
      3.
      

      Actual results:

      I suspect there will be neighbor solicitation packets

      Expected results:

      There must be total silence from the destination until the VM completes LM
