Packets during ARP discovery...

Hey,
I've just read a doc saying that packets are "held" while ARP discovers
L2 address of recipient. AFAIK, this is not true for routers, but not
sure for hosts, I guess that may be an implementation decision.

Microsoft seems to have a 1 packet queue per destination, it seems linux
has a 3 packet queue.

Interesting...
