hi, while testing our software we have observed the following arp packets. 16:41:25.623476 arp who-has 0.0.0.0 tell 10.0.36.130 16:41:30.639372 arp who-has 0.0.0.0 tell 10.0.36.130 16:41:40.649838 arp who-has 0.0.0.0 tell 10.0.36.130 16:41:45.631430 arp who-has 0.0.0.0 tell 10.0.36.130 16:41:50.640533 arp who-has 0.0.0.0 tell 10.0.36.130 16:42:00.651104 arp who-has 0.0.0.0 tell 10.0.36.130(--> pcs130) i am little confused what this means, since 0.0.0.0 means "this host"? or is it that, it is meant to update the arp entry corresponding to pcs130 on other hosts in the subnet? in this case, it can as well say "10.0.36.130" instead of "0.0.0.0". pcs130 runs FreeBSD 4.0 and the dump is taken on a linux machine connected to pcs130. please cc the replies to me as i am not subscribed to this mailing list. -- mohan --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes and Art is knowing which ones to keep. -Dilbert Mohana Krishna P. ph:- 527 6100/6108 x4470 Telecom ODC, Sasken Communication Technologies, INDIA. http://www.sasken.com --------------------------------------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
