I'm not sure what you were looking for there, but all of the
ARP-related MIB-II statistics are provided by the IP and ARP modules
together.  See RFC 1213, and the mib2_ipNetToMediaEntry table in
<inet/mib2.h>, as well as the ar_snmp_msg() function in ARP and
ip_snmp_get_mib2_ip_route_media() in IP.

I don't believe that the Mentat-derived code ever had statistics in
the ARP module.  It'd be possible to add some, if anyone were
interested in doing so, but I don't think they'd be part of any
standard MIB.  Do you know of one?
