However you have a rather serious networking problem anyway if you exceed the predefined gc* values. Some more information (besides reading the related kernel code): http://www.rstack.net/arp.html http://www.rstack.net/tuning_proc_for_arp.html > problems with very big arp's Yes, the time spent in the GC to reach the equilibrium is rather high with a high number of stale cache entries. Once gc_tresh3 threshold kicks in you get an aggressive table flush concurrent with the new neighbour entries. > arpd is marked as depricated or so!? No, not at all ;).
