Hello, the commit message body is currently empty; it does not contain any
explanation for what the commit does, which makes it unclear when viewing it
locally.
The current code compares the target IP of an ARP reply packet with the
srcaddr/sender IP of the request packet. Instead it should compare the
source IP of the ARP reply with the destaddr/target IP of the request
packet. In addition, this adds the check for ARP requests with the same
IP address in case other systems are probing for the same IP at the same
time as per the recommendation in RFC 5227.
This is related to #6133.
I formatted your original explanation above, can you add it to the commit
message body and force-push?

Thanks, it looks good now. Note: I'm unfamiliar with the ARP code, so I'll avoid reviewing it for now. |
