121MIB.
122.Bl -tag -width "log_arp_permanent_modify"
123.It Va allow_multicast
124Should the kernel install ARP entries with multicast bit set in
125the hardware address.
126Installing such entries is RFC 1812 violation, but some prorietary
127load balancing techniques require routers on network to do so.
128Turned off by default.

121MIB.
122.Bl -tag -width "log_arp_permanent_modify"
123.It Va allow_multicast
124Should the kernel install ARP entries with multicast bit set in
125the hardware address.
126Installing such entries is RFC 1812 violation, but some prorietary
127load balancing techniques require routers on network to do so.
128Turned off by default.
129.It Va garp_rexmit_count
130Should the kernel retransmit gratuitous ARP (GARP) packets when an IPv4 address
131is added to an interface.
132A GARP is always transmitted when an IPv4 address is added to an interface.
133A non-zero value of this sysctl will cause the GARP packet to be retransmitted
134the stated number of times.
135The interval between retransmissions is doubled each time, so the
136retransmission intervals are: {1, 2, 4, 8, 16, ...} (seconds).
137The default value of zero means only the initial GARP is sent; no
138additional GARP packets are retransmitted.
139The maximum value is sixteen.
140.Pp
141Although a single GARP packet (the default behavior) is usually sufficient, in
142some circumstances, such as when a shared address is passed between cluster
143nodes, this single GARP may be dropped or lost.
144This can lead to neighbors on the network link working with a stale ARP cache
145and sending packets destined for that address to the node that previously owned
146the address, which may not respond.
129.It Va log_arp_movements
130Should the kernel log movements of IP addresses from one hardware
131address to an other.
