Subject: Question about arp caches
Date: Tue, 29 Nov 2016 00:10:09 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <7415a6e5-260f-9593-a41c-8622c640207e@gmail.com> (raw)

Hi,

I'm reading the code about arp protocol. It seems like the kernel uses 
the neigh_table structure to keep track of caches, right? There should 
be some code that remove the stale entries in the cache, but I didn't 
find the code that does this job. Does anyone have an idea?

Thanks,
Yisu
