Hi -

A colleague has asked me to find out the default ARP cache timeout and how
to change it under Linux.

It would appear that it was 60 seconds under kernels <=2.0.x and was
configurable by altering a #define and recompiling, but things appear to
have changed substantially in kernel 2.2.x.

Please can someone explain the current behaviour to me?

Best Regards,
Alex.
