Symptoms:
	PHNE_21184:
		( SR number:  8606111842; Defect:  JAGab83956 )
	arp `hostname` doesn't return any output.
		( SR not found; Defect:  JAGaa26797 )
	"arp -an" may generate output after a
	longer-than-expected delay.

	PHNE_16520:
	        ( SR number:  5003433235 ; DTS number:  INDaa31630 )
	arp command doesn't work if an IP multicast group is joined
	by an application.

Defect Description:
	PHNE_21184:
		( SR number:  8606111842; Defect:  JAGab83956 )
	Symptom:
	arp `hostname` doesn't return any output.
	Defect Description:
	The arp command was designed to generate no output for
	local interfaces.  This was done by explicitly checking for
	and ignoring all local interfaces.
	Resolution:
	The arp command no longer ignores local interfaces when
	generating output.
		( SR not found; Defect:  JAGaa26797 )
	Symptom:
	"arp -an" may generate output after a
	longer-than-expected delay.
	Defect Description:
	"arp -an" calls the same function as "arp -a" to
	try to resolve IP addresses and that reduces
	the performance.
	Resolution:
	The routine which handles "arp -an" no longer looks
	up hostnames.

	PHNE_16520:
	        ( SR number:  5003433235 ; DTS number:  INDaa31630 )
	Symptom:
	arp command doesn't work if an IP multicast group is joined
	by an application.
	Defect Description:
	arp command breaks when IP multicasting addresses are added
	because the correct IP multicast filter is not used.
	Resolution:
	arp command now uses the correct IP multicast filter for
	accepting multicast groups.
