Defect Description:
	PHNE_25078:
	Ported HP-UX patch PHNE_21184 to VVOS

	Based on HP-UX patch 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_18663:
	Ported a portion of HP-UX patch PHNE_16520 for VVOS.
	Note: Although the HP-UX patch below refers to IP
	multicasting, IP multicasting is not supported on 11.04.
	The VVOS version of this patch provides an arp command
	that is better aligned with upcoming network kernel
	changes.
	Resolution:
	Port HP-UX patch PHNE_16520 for VVOS.

	Based on HP-UX patch PHNE_16520:
	        ( SR number:  5003433235 ; DTS number:  INDaa31630 )
	arp command breaks when IP multicasting addresses are added.
