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.

201ARP has received an ARP reply that attempts to overwrite a permanent
202entry in the local ARP table.
203This error will only be logged if the sysctl

207ARP has received an ARP reply that attempts to overwrite a permanent

209This error will only be logged if the sysctl

213Kernel refused to install an entry with multicast hardware address.
214If you really want such addresses being installed, set the sysctl

216to a positive value.
