Re: [B.A.T.M.A.N.] [PATCHv4 5/7] batman-adv: Distributed ARP Table - add snooping functions for ARP messages

Hi Antonio

General question. In the Linux ARP decode code is:

/* * Check for bad requests for 127.x.x.x and requests for multicast * addresses. If this is one such, delete it. */ if (ipv4_is_loopback(tip) || ipv4_is_multicast(tip)) goto out;

I don't see the same filtering here. What would happen if you did receiver and cached such a bad request?

In a similar direction, how does duplicate address detection work? i.e. i ARP my own address to see if somebody else is using it?

Or do i just need to RTFM your GSOC documentation :-)
