Subject: Linux arp flux problem

The following link explains the Linux arp flux problem pretty well, and I myself have been burnt badly by a life site where the "arp_filter" does not help at all.

         http://linux-ip.net/html/ether-arp.html

And I tested the kernel patch by Julian Anastasov, and it works 100% reliably :-

         http://www.ssi.bg/~ja/#hidden

My question is the patches has been around for many years, why has it not been included into the kernel ? Is it that Linux is supposed to have this "side effects" of arp linux on purpose ?

Best regards.
