Yes, through the proc interface. See /usr/src/linux/Documentation/proc.txt
section Network Neighbor handling. The parameter you want to adjust is
retrans_time.

ARP Timeout problem

2000-03-18 Thread F. D. Johnson

Hi Folks, can anyone point me in tthe right direction ?

My system (Suse6.3), when initiating any tcpip/radio session sends out 3
very rapid ARP requests
then, more often than not, times out before the remote end has had chance
to reply.

Can I lengthen the ARP timeout ?
