Just wanted to say that this seems similar to the issue I'm experiencing after updating to 2.7.0. In my case it's a simple point to point tap bridged to physical interfaces on each end. Tap needed because the whole purpose of the tunnel is to pass multicast video traffic.

@djdmx Good to hear!!
Sorry I haven't answered any of your posts, just getting over the flu. But you didn't need my help anyway!

@pcooper I have client logs but the forum will not let me post them.

@kiokoman thanks for the tip, I have configured a bridge with linux tools (brctl) and I'm using virt-io and I thought that would be enough but it is in fact very reasonable that it would actually introduce limitations and weird behaviors like what I'm seeing, I will dig further the issue
