Thanks for reviewing this patch. Now I think there are some defects all in
is_gratuitous_arp()
and is_garp(). Gratuitous arp is a special arp packet where the source and
destination IP
are both set to the same IP and the destination MAC is the broadcast address
ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff.
Function is_gratuitous_arp() check the broadcast, and whether the src ip and
dst ip are same. But
when the packet is arp reply, the function don't check whether the src ip and
dst ip are same.
The function is_garp check the arp request and arp reply and whether the src ip
and dst ip are same.
But it doesn't check for the packet to be broadcast.
So, I think we should probably keep is_garp() and modify it. Because is_garp()
is a inline function in flow.h.
But is_gratuitous_arp() is a static function defined in ofproto-dpif-xlate.c.
Did I miss something ?
Best regards, Han Ding.
