63 "This kernel protocol module implements the Address Resolution Protocol "
64 "defined in RFC\\ 826. It is used to convert between Layer2 hardware "
65 "addresses and IPv4 protocol addresses on directly connected networks. The "
66 "user normally doesn't interact directly with this module except to configure "
67 "it; instead it provides a service for other protocols in the kernel."

73 "A user process can receive ARP packets by using B<packet>(7) sockets. "
74 "There is also a mechanism for managing the ARP cache in user-space by using "

82 "The ARP module maintains a cache of mappings between hardware addresses and "
83 "protocol addresses. The cache has a limited size so old and less frequently "
84 "used entries are garbage-collected. Entries which are marked as permanent "
85 "are never deleted by the garbage-collector. The cache can be directly "
86 "manipulated by the use of ioctls and its behavior can be tuned by the "

94 "(see the I</proc> interfaces below), a neighbor cache entry is considered "
95 "stale. Positive feedback can be gotten from a higher layer; for example "
96 "from a successful TCP ACK. Other protocols can signal forward progress "
97 "using the B<MSG_CONFIRM> flag to B<sendmsg>(2). When there is no forward "
98 "progress, ARP tries to reprobe. It first tries to ask a local arp daemon "
99 "B<app_solicit> times for an updated MAC address. If that fails and an old "
100 "MAC address is known, a unicast probe is sent B<ucast_solicit> times. If "
