.SH NAME
|
|
|
|
arp \- Linux ARP kernel module.
|
|
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
This kernel protocol module implements the Address Resolution
|
|
|
|
Protocol defined in RFC\ 826.
|
|
|
|
It is used to convert between Layer2 hardware addresses
|
|
|
|
and IPv4 protocol addresses on directly connected networks.
|
|
|
|
The user normally doesn't interact directly with this module except to
|
|
|
|
configure it;
|
|
|
|
instead it provides a service for other protocols in the kernel.

|
|
The ARP module maintains a cache of mappings between hardware addresses
|
|
|
|
and protocol addresses.
|
|
|
|
The cache has a limited size so old and less
|
|
|
|
frequently used entries are garbage-collected.
|
|
|
|
Entries which are marked
|
|
|
|
as permanent are never deleted by the garbage-collector.
|
|
|
|
The cache can
|
|
|
|
be directly manipulated by the use of ioctls and its behavior can be

Many pages still mention use of the obsolete sysctl(2) system
call, or used the term "sysctls"; rewrite these mentions to
instead be in terms of /proc interfaces.

Positive feedback can be gotten from a higher layer; for example from
|
|
|
|
a successful TCP ACK.
|
|
|
|
Other protocols can signal forward progress
|
|
|
|
using the
|
|
|
|
.B MSG_CONFIRM
|
|
|
|
flag to
|
|
|
|
.BR sendmsg (2).
|
2008-11-22 02:41:19 +00:00
|
|
|
When there is no forward progress, ARP tries to reprobe.
|
2008-08-08 16:41:48 +00:00
|
|
|
It first tries to ask a local arp daemon

|
times for an updated MAC address.
|
2008-11-22 02:41:19 +00:00
|
|
|
If that fails and an old MAC address is known, a unicast probe is sent

2008-11-22 02:41:19 +00:00

If that fails too, it will broadcast a new ARP

There is no way to signal positive feedback from user space.
|
2008-11-22 02:41:19 +00:00
|
|
|
This means connection-oriented protocols implemented in user space
|
2008-08-08 16:41:48 +00:00
|
|
|
will generate excessive ARP traffic, because ndisc will regularly

reprobe the MAC address.

|
