No. Shake my head, the above is a reference to TIP, not THA. and DHA is already set correctly anyway. (what was I drinking..) Anyway.. RFC2131 only talks about the format of the arp request and not of the arp reply. I will test again to see if OF is testing THA or TIP. My guess is TIP. So how to get the fix incorporated into the kernel though. I don't see why it would break anything else. Peter
