Gratuitous ARP on Vista?
Hi Experts:
I have noticed some differences on Windows Vista regarding to the gratuitous ARP: I have a virtual adapter, under Windows XP, when IP Helper function "IpRenewAddress" is called for the virtual adapter, gratuitous ARP packet is generated by the system; but under Windows Vista, this seems is not happening. Does this make sense? Can this be explained? Thanks in Advance! Polaris |

Gratuitous ARP on Vista?
Probably because the entire TCP/IP stack of Vista is new from the ground up.
Windows XP's network stack is a bit old (I think it came from Windows 95, or at least Windows NT 4.0), so the ARP packet may be an older, no longer in use functionality. Bill F.

I understand it came from OpenBSD, and not a very recent one, at that, actually. |
