It seems CISCO routers implement the RFC (default behaviour). I would like to use a FreeBSD machine as such an "automated" Proxy ARP to use it as a gateway for a machine with a *very* limited stack (using the RTC real-time kernel). This RFC specifically mentions patches to the TCP/IP stack (for BSD43). But the RFC is old (Oct . 87). I've attempted a quick search on Internet, but without success. Has someone kept a copy of the indicated patches ? TIA Thierry Herbelot To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
