So we must send something that will force remote side to respond. One such
message is LAP with current primary path used as proposed alternate path.
Remote will respond with APR with AP status 5 if the connection is there,
and
status 1 if it is not.
I didn't follow this. Is this just an out of band keep alive message?
Yes. Exactly.
Michael,
You may know that for each neighbour, the Linux network stack sends
every m jiffies a --unicast-- ARP probe, where after n jiffies there is
no ARP reply, it sends a broadcast ARP.
The default values are m=30*HZ and n=30*HZ, but you can change them,
its net.ipv4.neigh.default{gc_interval,gc_stale_time}
My understanding it that it solves everything, no need for keep alives
Do I missing anything here?
Or.
