Subject: [PATCH 1/3] arp_notify: document that a gratuitous ARP request is sent when this option is enabled
Date: Wed, 26 May 2010 11:09:41 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1274868583-26291-1-git-send-email-ian.campbell@citrix.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1274868492.24218.7350.camel@zakaz.uk.xensource.com>
This option causes a gratuitous ARP request, not a reply as the documentation
currently suggests.
