Synopsis: the routing table seems to mirror the arp cache

State-Changed-From-To: open->closed
State-Changed-By: jmb
State-Changed-When: Wed Jan 5 18:13:26 PST 2000
State-Changed-Why: 


        The ARP cache is stored in the route table since the Net/3
        release as detailed by Gary R Wright and W Richard Stevens
        in _TCP/IP_Illustrated_Volume_2_ page 675.
 
        This behavior is not a bug but rather a deliberate design 
        choice.   At tthis time one can not exclude the ARP entries
        when displaying the routing table using "netstat -r".
