Are these new routines? I may have been looking at old code and don't remember seeing these there. I'm seeing that these will do what we need
- perform a request on the network if the entry is not in the cache?
These routines are not in alfred yet - they are in batctl. And we use them there for the translate subcommand (translate an IP to the responsible originator).
And yes, they check whether the entry is available and if not then they will try to send something towards the remote device. They only have to be adjusted for alfred and integrated in your IPv4 codepath(s).
Kind regards, Sven
