[11:52:24] <apw> ok there are a continuious stream of updates from the kernel [11:52:37] <apw> becasue link level mappings are in the routing table, and they appear and dissapear [11:52:39] <apw> all the time [11:53:04] <apw> try sudo ip monitor [15:12:24] <ev> so basically this approach is bogus then? [15:13:46] <apw> well it needs consideration whether it is being selective enough [15:14:14] <apw> as as a naive user i look at the raw stream it changes whenever an arp entry appears or dissappears [15:14:30] <apw> now they mey be doing it 'righter' by trying to select specific subsets of [15:14:42] <apw> the messages, or not, one wuold need to emit the ones they keep/drop to see [15:14:52] <apw> it is possible they have not adapted to the new world order [15:16:41] <ev> new world order? [15:19:05] <apw> when the link level addresses got promoted from another separate cache into the [15:19:13] <apw> routing table, which sped things up [15:19:53] <apw> so ipv6 neibour discovery results, and ipv4 arp results get put in as a real 'host route' now [15:20:01] <apw> and then removed when they time out [15:20:09] <apw> which might mean things looking for route changes would see both [15:20:22] <apw> of those, and think networking changed, but you would need to shove a print in there [15:20:24] <apw> to be sure me thinks

Andy Whitcroft points out that the NETLINK_ROUTE socket set up by GNetworkMonitor will fire events every time an ARP entry appears or disappears. Unfortunately, we currently need an additional layer of connectivity checking because checking NetworkManager's state for CONNECTED_GLOBAL is not enough to know whether we're really online. Ubuntu does not yet use the NetworkManager connectivity check [1]. The likely solution to this bug is a replacement for GNetworkMonitor in whoopsie. 1: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~daisy- pluckers/whoopsie/trunk/view/head:/src/connectivity.c#L326 Original report follows: Every few seconds, I see a dns query for daisy.ubuntu.com. After removing whoopsie, the traffic goes away.
