Hi Lorenzo,

I have a couple more comments, sorry for not including those in the
previous review.

nit: We should specify the unit in the name e.g. "garp-max-timeout-s".

By setting the default value to 16000 (maybe even making that #define so it
is really clear) and introducing something like "static bool
garp_rarp_continuous = false;" we can simplify the code below
significantly.

For the resets we would just need to check the continuous bool, we should
also reset it into the configured value.

With the continuous flag all of this can be simplified into:

    if (garp_rarp_continuous || garp_rarp->backoff < garp_rarp_max_timeout)
{
        garp_rarp->announce_time = current_time + garp_rarp->backoff;
    } else {
        garp_rarp->announce_time = LLONG_MAX;
    }
    garp_rarp->backoff = MIN(garp_rarp_max_timeout, garp_rarp->backoff * 2);

This could be simplified to:

        garp_max_timeout = smap_get_ullong(&cfg->external_ids,
"garp-max-timeout", 0) * 1000;
        garp_rarp_continuous = !!garp_max_timeout;
