[ns] Problem with IFQ ARP drops

["Holger M. Fuessler" <fuessler@informatik.uni-mannheim.de>]

Hi all!

I'm testing mobile adhoc routing and I face a lot if IFQ ARP drops.
A look into arp.cc tells me that there is one packet to be held
(->hold_) for a standing request. If a second packet arrives, the
first is dropped.

Is this reasonable? Shouldn't this be a list, so more than one packet
can wait for ar for the same next-hop?

How do I cope with this? Should I just reschedule the packet for some
time in the future, when the ar succeeded or timed out?

Cheers

Holger
