ARP REFRESH PLUGIN FOR OLSRD
by Sven-Ola Tuecke <sven-ola-aet-gmx.de>
---------------------------------------------------------------------

This plugin listens to all recevice UDP packets and maintains an
internal list of MAC addresses extracted from these. By hitchhiking
the set-route-function, the kernel ARP cache will be refreshed from
this list if a direct-neighbour host route is configured. Result:
no more ARP lookups if you use a larger routing chain - e.g. fetch
a web site 8 olsr-hops away does not show the typcial 8-nodes-need
to ARP first delay.
