[issue] macvtap dropping all packets as errors

i am debugging an issue with Guest VM's ethernet interface isnt receving any packets
the packet path is as below;
Guest VM Host OS
me0 <-- --> macvtap0 <--> eth0
the tx direction from me0 packets are visible at macvtap0
while, the packets recvd through eth0 on HostOS are received well at macvtap0. but, all are dropped as error packets
i am unable to troubleshoot the issue
any pointers will help

During ping from an external device, the arp resolution is happening. this means, the broadcast packets are being received. just that unicast packets are dropped all as error packets

Hi, Can you please "ip add " on me0 & eth0 systems ? Which hypervisor are you using?
Thanks

i am using qemu-kvm. does the below info suffice, when you say "ip add" ?

i am able to tcpdump on macvtap0. so, packets are being well received on macvtap0, while it isnt received at Guest VM

The "ip" command has enhancements over "ifconfig". Please use the "ip" command.
