Hello, In Linux kernel by adding debug statement i observe that if i ping to host 10.0.0.5 with 10 packets then first i know network stack require to resolve hosts IP to its Hardware ID by sending ARP on Ethernet LAN. But then what i get that if i again ping for another 10 packets to 10.0.0.5 then ARP routine is called. Why? Why linux kernel is not caching it. Infact its caching i check it in debug statements then why network stack require to resolve 10.0.0.5 host to send packets to it? Also i want to know once eth_header_cache called then all successive packet to that cache host goes directly from hh->hh_output(skb) to hard_start_xmit? regards, cranium - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
