From 988b705077d8f922408913f4f521ae073256d4a1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pavel Emelyanov Date: Mon, 3 Mar 2008 12:20:57 -0800 Subject: [ARP]: Introduce the arp_hdr_len helper. There are some place, that calculate the ARP header length. These calculations are correct, but a) some operate with "magic" constants, b) enlarge the code length (sometimes at the cost of coding style), c) are not informative from the first glance. The proposal is to introduce a helper, that includes all the good sides of these calculations. Signed-off-by: Pavel Emelyanov Signed-off-by: David S.
