However this patch also contains a procedure which queries the neigh
table in order to understand whether a given host is known or not.
Would it be possible to do that in another way (Without manually touching
the table)?

Instead, in the next patch (patch 06/15) batman-adv manually increase the
neigh timeouts. Do you think we should avoid doing that as well? If we
are allowed to do that, how can we perform the same operation in a
cleaner way?

Last question: why can't other modules use exported functions? Are you
going to change them as well?

I really don't have time to discuss your neigh issues right now as I'm
busy speaking at conferences and dealing with the backlog of other
patches.

You'll need to find someone else to discuss it with you, sorry.

I hope now is a good moment to bring the questions back onto the table. We 
still are not sure how to proceed because we have no clear picture of what is 
going to come and how the exported functions are supposed to be used.

David, if you don't have the time to discuss the ARP handling with us could 
you name someone who knows your plans and the code equally well ? So far, 
nobody has stepped up.

Thanks,
Marek
