If none of the backbone gateways in a bla setup has already knowledge of the mac address searched for in an incoming ARP request from the backbone an address resolution via the DHT of DAT is started. The gateway can send several ARP requests to different DHT nodes and therefore can get several replies. This patch assures that not all of the possible ARP replies are returned to the backbone by checking the local DAT cache of the gateway. If there is an entry in the local cache the gateway has already learned the requested address and there is no need to forward the additional reply to the backbone. Furthermore it is checked if this gateway has claimed the source of the ARP reply and only forwards it to the backbone if it has claimed the source or if there is no claim at all.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
