OK - I found a fix but I'm not sure why this makes a difference;
neither my l3-agent or dhcp-agent configuration had 'ovs_use_veth =
True'; I switched this on, clearing everything down, rebooted and now
I seem symmetric good performance across all neutron routers.

This would point to some sort of underlying bug when ovs_use_veth = False.
