Regarding your arp it looks fairly clear to me that you have a lot of devices on this ethernet segment.
When you have many devices on the same segment, sometimes packets will be delayed. That is now networking works.
On this ethernet segment we have many servers, but only these two servers got error, so I don't think this's the point.

Might want to look into getting your partition running in Power8 mode instead of Power7 compatibility mode. Also should think about getting off of AIX 6.1.
Have you check to see if there are any hardware problems or errors on the network interface?
This could be a point - we installed AIX 6.1 on an IBM p8 server but we're not sure. Do you have any suggesions? The network and hardware devices is OK

arpwatch
ARPWATCH(8) System Manager's Manual ARPWATCH(8)
NAME
arpwatch - keep track of ethernet/ip address pairings
SYNOPSIS
arpwatch [ -dN ] [ -f datafile ] [ -i interface ]
[ -n net[/width ]] [ -r file ] [ -u username ] [ -e username ] [ -s username ]
DESCRIPTION
Arpwatch keeps track for ethernet/ip address pairings. It syslogs activity and reports certain changes via email. Arpwatch uses pcap(3) to
listen for arp packets on a local ethernet interface.
The -d flag is used enable debugging. This also inhibits forking into the background and emailing the reports. Instead, they are sent to
stderr.
The -f flag is used to set the ethernet/ip address database filename. The default is arp.dat.
The -i flag is used to override the default interface.
The -n flag specifies additional local networks. This can be useful to avoid "bogon" warnings when there is more than one network running
on the same wire. If the optional width is not specified, the default netmask for the network's class is used.
The -N flag disables reporting any bogons.
The -r flag is used to specify a savefile (perhaps created by tcpdump(1) or pcapture(1)) to read from instead of reading from the network.
In this case, arpwatch does not fork.
If -u flag is used, arpwatch drops root privileges and changes user ID to username and group ID to that of the primary group of username.
This is recommended for security reasons.
If the -e flag is used, arpwatch sends e-mail messages to username rather than the default (root). If a single `-' character is given for
the username, sending of e-mail is suppressed, but logging via syslog is still done as usual. (This can be useful during initial runs, to
collect data without being flooded with messages about new stations.)
If the -s flag is used, arpwatch sends e-mail messages with username as the return address, rather than the default (root).
Note that an empty arp.dat file must be created before the first time you run arpwatch. Also, the default directory (where arp.dat is
stored) must be owned by username if -u flag is used.
REPORT MESSAGES
Here's a quick list of the report messages generated by arpwatch(1) (and arpsnmp(1)):
new activity
This ethernet/ip address pair has been used for the first time six months or more.
new station
The ethernet address has not been seen before.
flip flop
The ethernet address has changed from the most recently seen address to the second most recently seen address. (If either the old
or new ethernet address is a DECnet address and it is less than 24 hours, the email version of the report is suppressed.)
changed ethernet address
The host switched to a new ethernet address.
SYSLOG MESSAGES
Here are some of the syslog messages; note that messages that are reported are also sysloged.
ethernet broadcast
The mac ethernet address of the host is a broadcast address.
ip broadcast
The ip address of the host is a broadcast address.
bogon The source ip address is not local to the local subnet.
ethernet broadcast
The source mac or arp ethernet address was all ones or all zeros.
ethernet mismatch
The source mac ethernet address didn't match the address inside the arp packet.
reused old ethernet address
The ethernet address has changed from the most recently seen address to the third (or greater) least recently seen address. (This
is similar to a flip flop.)
suppressed DECnet flip flop
A "flip flop" report was suppressed because one of the two addresses was a DECnet address.
FILES
/var/lib/arpwatch - default directory
arp.dat - ethernet/ip address database
ethercodes.dat - vendor ethernet block list

BUGS
Please send bug reports to arpwatch@ee.lbl.gov.
Attempts are made to suppress DECnet flip flops but they aren't always successful.
Most error messages are posted using syslog.
