From 54d0f56e63edb1aa3901ea6389bf7ea5d43d0c22 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Klaus D. Wacker" Date: Wed, 29 Aug 2007 11:26:58 +0200 Subject: qeth: Drop ARP packages on HiperSockets interface with NOARP attribute. A network interface can get ARP packets even when the interface has NOARP specified. In a HiperSockets environment this disturbs receiving systems when packets are sent on the multicast queue. (E.g. TCP/IP on z/VM issues messages reporting invalid data on the HiperSockets interface.) Qeth will no longer send ARP packets on HiperSockets interface when interface has the NOARP attribute.
