Hi,

I need to setup a static MAC address into the /proc/net/arp file, as I want
the linux kernel to simulate sending a packet on a standalone test system.
The arp command does not work on the kernel, has anyone tried setting it up
statically?

I know the benchmarks NetperfStream etc would need to set up the arp table,
but I guess that would get done automatically because they had two actual
systems which had two mac addresses. I am trying to simulate only one
system with its own MAC address, and I want to set a gateway MAC address so
that the kernel sends the packet out at the network interface and drop it
beforehand. I do not need to send the packets actually just simulate that
they do from the kernel view point.

Thanks,
Pritha
