From 313c767b0001bf6271405f1b765b60a334d6e911 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tamir Duberstein Date: Tue, 27 Aug 2019 18:53:34 -0700 Subject: Populate link address cache at dispatch This allows the stack to learn remote link addresses on incoming packets, reducing the need to ARP to send responses. This also reduces the number of round trips to the system clock, since that may also prove to be performance-sensitive. Fixes #739.
