From cd28ca0a3dd17c68d24b839602a0e6268ad28b5d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Tue, 9 Aug 2011 08:15:58 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] neigh: reduce arp latency Remove the artificial HZ latency on arp resolution. Instead of firing a timer in one jiffy (up to 10 ms if HZ=100), lets send the ARP message immediately.
