From c384ea3ec930ef11060a7308fbbd02b4871384f9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Antonio Quartulli Date: Sun, 26 Jun 2011 03:37:18 +0200 Subject: batman-adv: Distributed ARP Table - add snooping functions for ARP messages In case of an ARP message going in or out the soft_iface, it is intercepted and a special action is performed. In particular the DHT helper functions previously implemented are used to store all the ARP entries belonging to the network in order to provide a fast and unicast lookup instead of the classic broadcast flooding mechanism. Each node stores the entries it is responsible for (following the DHT rules) in its soft_iface ARP table. This makes it possible to reuse the kernel data structures and functions for ARP management.
