Windows 2000 ARP cache and timers

[--Charles Johnson]

Can someone tell me what happened to ArpCacheSize and ArpCacheLife in
Windows 2000?

I've used these settings under services/TCPIP/parameters on NT boxes to
lower the broadcast traffic. These seettings appear to have no effect in
Windows 2000 server.

Thanks!!

Hi Charles,

ArpCacheLife should still work in Windows 2000. Arp Cache size is dynamic
in Windows 2000. More details can be found in this white paper:
