Hello,

Those are int and nothing in the kernel code prevents them having
MAX_INT-1 assigned as a value. 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):

> 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 ;).
Best regards,
