Message-ID: <m3r6iqffde.fsf@ursa.amorsen.dk> Date: Fri, 16 Nov 2007 15:13:01 +0100 From: Benny Amorsen <benny+usenet@...rsen.dk> To: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Cc: netdev@...r.kernel.org Subject: Re: [PATCH] net/ipv4/arp.c: Fix arp reply when sender ip 0 >>>>> "DM" == David Miller <davem@...emloft.net> writes: >> Reply: >> Opcode: reply (0x0002) >> Sender HW: 00:AA.00:AA:00:AA >> Sender IP: 192.168.0.1 >> Target HW: 00:AA:00:AA:00:AA >> Target IP: 192.168.0.1 DM> And this is exactly a sensible response in my opinion. Why send the reply at all? Sending a unicast packet with yourself as destination MAC seems a bit useless. Do switches propagate it? /Benny - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
