;-} The timeout is really an implementation detail. It's currently based on the use of cache IRE entries, and is controlled by ip_ire_arp_interval, but can change faster if TCP issues negative advice to IP (which it does on a retransmit). I expect those details to change substantially in the future with the IP Datapath Refactoring project. -- James Carlson 42.703N 71.076W <[email protected]> _______________________________________________ networking-discuss mailing list [email protected]
