Hi Ariel,
   Here is an excerpt from a previous post regarding ARP timing from 
Julian Munoz Dominguez <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

Subject: Re: ARP time too short

> So, is there any solution to slow down the ARP requests ?

Yes, there is.

Take a look of that, for 1200 bauds:
The meaning of /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ is explained (but no very well) in
Linux kernel source documentation (wich comes with Linux kernel sources)

# Parametros arp
# Maximo 7 arps
/bin/echo "7"  >  /proc/sys/net/ipv4/arp_max_tries
# Los arp quedan 1 hora en memoria
/bin/echo "360000" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/arp_timeout
# Los arps requests se hacen cada 15 segundos  (---> ARPS requests every
15S )
/bin/echo "1500" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/arp_res_time 
# Se comprueba aproximadamente cada 3500 segundos.
/bin/echo "350000" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/arp_check_interval
