From: Konrad Sewiłło-Jopek <kjo...@gmail.com> Provide sticky ARP flag for network interface which marks it as the "sticky" one similarly to what we have for bridges. Once interface is marked sticky, any address resolved using the ARP will be saved as a static one in the ARP table. Such functionality may be used to prevent ARP spoofing or to decrease latencies in Ethernet networks.
The drawbacks include potential limitations in usage of ARP-based load-balancers and high-availability solutions such as carp(4). The implemented option is disabled by default, therefore should not impact the default behaviour of the networking stack. Sponsored by: Conclusive Engineering sp. z o.o.
