Re: [lwip-users] how to handle ARP request that's not for me

its not about rule, its all about the effectiveness of your implementation. Its always a better implementation, to update a ARP table, as and when the packets come. But u dont pass it on to the IP layer,since the destination IP address is different.

 

There is always a possibility of exchanging the messages within the sub-net. This method saves one ARP query when needed. Hope  you got the idea.

Hi,
   I think on RFC826, it said we should drop it if it's not for us,
but I think somewhere else mentioned we can save it in the ARP table
for furture use, and I think current lwip is doing this. So, is there
a clear rule about how we should do it?

Thank you very much.
