I wonder if they would be more open to accepting that patch now?

service is bridged not routed - give me another
explanation besides ARP caches.

ust as if one were using locally administered MAC addresses.
Yes. My 12:34:56 OUI scheme will work for this project but it is
definitely not good for the long term. I really really hope I have to
spend some money with the IEEE soon to support lots and lots of
rollouts. :)

-Or
But in a failover scenario you want two devices to have the same IEEE
(station) Address (or MAC Address or hardware address). So many names
for the same thing!
When the primary unit fails, you want the backup unit to completely
assume the failed unit's identity - right down to the MAC Address.
f the failover pair will try to take
control and that both will assume a backup role with nobody taking
control.But I may have to tweak the algorithm a bit more after more
testing.

It was suggested I post this here. I sent the original netdev posting
to an incorrect email address. I have also tried turning off rp_filter
on both interfaces. arp_filter is already turned off. Putting any of
the router interfaces into promiscuous mode makes no difference.
