The RFC 1027 introduces the use of Proxy ARP to enable old machines without subnetting to use routers (a router automatically answers the ARP requests from the old machine for IP addresses outside the local net). 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
