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.


Can I add a queue that sends a packet at a time to the ARPQuerier - so that
will ensure that the packets are not lost?

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

It is not at all annoying and very helpful :)
