(In reply to Andrey V. Elsukov from comment #18)

I was not entirely correct. ND code uses CARP mac address when populates
source-link address option. But then, when ethernet header is filled, it us=
es
wrong source mac address. And this leads to problems.
The system with CARP MASTER role sends ICMPv6 NS using MAC address that doe=
sn't
corresponds to CARP IPv6 address, e.g. it uses zero VHID in last octet. The=
n,
when it receives ICMPv6 NA, it is ignored, due to carp_forus() desn't find
matched MAC address. And then system starts to generate a lot of ICMPv6
unreachable messages, because it can not resolve IPv6 addresses due to wrong
MAC source address.
