ARP Entries

[GJS]

I am working on a setup that involves up to 50 static ARP entries with an interface set to reply-only mode.

Will this number of entries result in any significant slow down of ARP look ups?

Thanks,
Guy

hello

not really tested, but as the arp table works like a cache it should only speed up arp requests, otherwise the request has to be send out to the media. (btw. i have read about a 1024 entries limit)

Ah, yes, I hadn’t thought of it that way. I am eliminating the dynamic add/remove from the table so there is one less process.
