Subject: ARP response with link local IP, why not broadcast
Hello!
According to RFC3927 every ARP packet (reply and request) should be sent
as link layer broadcast as long as the sender IP is a link local
address. (see chapter 2.5).
That functionality would help me a lot with a use case I have with our
application.
But it is not implemented in the kernel that way.
Does anyone know why?
Regards,
Sebastian
