ARP REFRESH PLUGIN FOR OLSRD
by Sven-Ola Tuecke <sven-ola-aet-gmx.de>
---------------------------------------------------------------------

The plugin listens to all received UDP packets on port 698 and maintains
an internal list of MAC addresses extracted from these. The kernel ARP
cache will be refreshed from this list if a direct-neighbor host route is
configured. Result: no more ARP lookups if you use a larger routing
chain - e.g. fetch a web site 8 olsr-hops away does not show the typical
8-nodes-need-to-ARP first delay.
IPv4 only.
Does not support VLANs.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
PLUGIN PARAMETERS (PlParam)

None.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
SAMPLE CONFIG

{
}
