Below is a sample row which I am getting from ARP table (of course the side names were putted by me):
IP::192.168.43.184::HW typ::0x1 :: Flags::0x0::HW address::70:bb:c0:bb:99:66 :: Mask:: ::Device::wlan0
I saw the Flag
field became 0x2
the moment a device gets connected and it became 0x0
when it gets disconnected (this one does not happen momentarily).
I need to know what the Flag
field really means. Is this field really a solid hint to be notified whenever a device is connected to hotspot?
From this answer I got few hints about the
Flag
. Here Amap said:I am relying on this
Flag
for the time being. Yet it is highly appreciated if someone can confirm about the reliability of this field.
