ARPQuerier

[Shweta Bhandare]

Eddie,

	One more question for ya.

	Can i use queue->enqueue->arpquerier to ensure that the packets are not
lost? I mean I just want to know what happens when packet arrives at the
pull port of the enqueue and it already has a packet ( setting the burst
size of 1 )

	Can i use a traffic shaper instead ? Something like, only when a arp reply
arrives for the packet in the arpquerier do you send the next packet.

	Can you please help?

Thanks,
Shweta

That is indeed ARPQuerier's behavior. It saves at most one packet per IP
destination address annotation, until it gets the reply for that address.

Nope; that's it. You can always check the code, I suppose :), but that can
get annoying.
