Kernel 2.4.27... planning upgrade to 2.6
I need to run an arp daemon since I'm getting "Neighbour table overflow". To get rid of this message, I've modified gc behaviour by increasing minimun, soft maximum and hard maximum (gc_tresh1, gc_tresh2 and gc_tresh3) to 10240, 20480 and 40960 respectively which I think it not appropriate. The CONFIG_ARPD kernel's option has this warning:
" This code is experimental and also obsolete. If you want to use it, you need to find a version of the daemon arpd on the net somewhere.... "
Googling around I've found something about arpx project from Dana Lacoste but his (or her :) ) project page is off-line and unreacheble.
The "obsolete" status means arp daemon kernel's support will be dropped ? Does the kernel now support large cache (quite more than only 256 entries) ? Is there another arp daemon instead of Dana's one?
thanks in advance
