Not quite true, actually. It does not track expired entries.
The absence of an entry is detected only after it is requested again.
So, this thing is for user space resolution, not for monitoring.

The absense of facility to monitor ARP tables is intentional.
Do you want to see what is there right now, dump. If you are not going
to help with resolution, content of highly dynmaic table is of no use for you.
