Re: [B.A.T.M.A.N.] [PATCHv2 3/7] batman-adv: prevent duplication of ARP replies when DAT is used

If none of the backbone gateways in a bla setup has already knowledge of the mac address searched for in an incoming ARP request from the backbone it must be prevented that multiple ARP replies are generated and returned to the backbone by the dat address resolution mechanism of other dat enabled nodes of the mesh.

Isn't this patch somewhat redundant due to the change in patch 4? In that patch we already drop unicast packets, and this patch just adds a check for a more specific unicast subtype ...?

Thanks, Simon
