ARP Behavior for TCPIP 5.0 on QNX 4.25
We have experienced several cases where QNX 4.25 did not ACK incoming TCP packets nor did it transmit any new TCP
packets while an ARP refresh was in progress. We noticed this behavior because we also encountered a problem with our
remote device where the driver stopped processing incoming messages for 31 seconds.
From the Wireshark analysis, it appears as if the ARP mechanism in TCPIP 5.0 on QNX 4.25 deletes the ARP table cache
entry when it expires, sends an ARP broadcast request, and waits until it receives the response back from the remote
device before it allows any TCP messages to be transmitted. Can anyone confirm if this is expected behavior for the ARP
refresh on QNX 4.25 or have we encountered another bug in the TCP/IP stack?
Thanks,
Robert
