[1] Gratuitous ARP
[2] When configuring an Ethernet network interface with the same IP
address as the IP address of the Ethernet interface from a Linux box,
the latter doesn't generate an ARP request to the gratuitous ARP sent
by the former.
[3] Networking
[4] Kernel version: 2.2.5-15
[5] No aplicable
[6] Try to configure an Ethernet interface with the same address as the
Linux box's IP address and check the network traffic with an sniffer
[7] No information relevant
[8] Bugfix:
File: $LINUX_SRC/net/ipv4/arp.c
Function: arp_rcv
Line: 650
Fix: When checking if the foreign IP address is our IP address, do
the following:
if(sip==tip)
instead of:
if(sip==0)
