[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

Re: [issue] macvtap dropping all packets as errors

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
