Otherwise, they | might try and keep using the old address until their arp table | entry times out and the address is refreshed. | | Maybe this ought to be done for INET6 addresses as well but i have | no idea how to do it. It should be pretty straightforward though. | | MFC-after: 10 days | | Revision Changes Path | 1.128 +11 -0 src/sys/net/if.c -- Maxim Konovalov, MAcomnet, Internet-Intranet Dept., system engineer phone: +7 (095) 796-9079, mailto:maxim@macomnet.ru To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
