Last time when I sent an email to net@ for comments, I
received only limited feedback.
The New ARP code in my home directory on FreeFall and was
lasted updated on June-8-2007. It was based on then
CURRENT (7.0) and was tested to be working fine at
that time. A bit more work would be necessary in locking
though. I asked for code review and folks to play
with it. Again, the feedback was really scant.
The code is accessible at
http://people.freebsd.org/~qingli/newarp-06-08-2007/
The question I asked then was "should I move forward?"
I'd be more that happy to resume and be done with it.
I think that breaking the arp code from the routing code
need to proceed.
I see no reason to not have reference counted links from the
routes to the arp code (for optimisation and compat reasons),
but it should be self standing.
I'll look at what you have..

I believe Qing-li (Sp?) did an arp rewrite..
the story is a bit longer - Andre drafted the initial design,
which i subsequently took over and with a student, Alessandro
Cerri, (I am Cc-ing him) did a first implementation. This was
probably around 2003.
Then Qing-li (Sp?) took over development of that code - last
i heard of the code was around last summer.
I think our code at least was based on 4.x so it probably did
not address locking very much (not sure how the routing code
is locked these days, anyways).
Alessandro is actually around again playing with FreeBSD so
he may remember more details (it was his thesis, after all!)
cheers
