Hi,
Would anyone be able to share some insight on this?

Hi,
I was doing some ARP troubleshooting, and noticed this sysctl
variable, and was wondering what it is for? On our office firewall
with just 14 ARP entries, I see it's normally at 0 but on a busy data
centre firewall with 1,541 ARP entries, it seems to always be at or
near 100, and never above. This is just speculation, but it would
appear that the maximum queue length is 100, and that ARP requests may
potentially be dropped above that number? Can somebody confirm this?
Am I currently running into ARP limitations, or this is indicative of
other problems? Is it possible to increase the queue length to
something larger through the kernel configuration or at compile time,
and would this be advisable?
Thanks,
Han
