Re: Fwd: Question about arp caches

[Yisu Peng <yisupeng@xxxxxxxxx>]

Sorry, seems I didn't make question clear. Maybe let me ask another question to help with this. So, how is the kernel check those staled arp entries? Or, what is the mechanism that the kernel uses to find the out of date entries?

Thanks,

Yisu

I find a lot references of the function neigh_release(), can you direct me to the one that releases a staled arp entry?

​neigh_destroy(...) is probably what you are looking for.
