This is the second comment that I've added to this comment.

get_time()

get_time() returns the number of clock ticks since reboot.

Several of the clients (eth, arp, ip, tcp, and udp) use get_time() to determine an appropriate timeout value for a given operation. For example, the arp code calls get_time() to determine an appropriate amount of time to wait for a response from an arp request before giving up.

alloc_cache_ent()

alloc_cache_ent() finds an unused entry within the arp table and returns the entry's index within the table. If there are no unused entries within the arp table, the entry that was last used is returned instead.

arp_ip_eth()

arp_ip_eth(eth_port, ipaddr, ethaddr) looks for an entry in the arp table that matches ipaddr, the second parameter, and if it finds it, returns the corresponding ethernet address in ethaddr, the third parameter. If arp_ip_eth() does not find a valid entry in the arp table for the ip address, it sends out an arp broadcast in an attempt to find the ethernet address for the ip address and returns NW_SUSPEND.

arp_init()

arp_init() sets the ap_state field of all the arp ports to APS_ERROR. Later, when the ip code acquires an arp port, the ap_state field of the acquired arp port is set to APS_INITIAL.

arp_getdata()

arp_getdata(fd, offset, count, for_ioctl) accomplishes several different tasks, depending on the state of the arp port:

APS_ARPPROTO (configuration state):

If count, arp_getdata()'s third parameter, is non-zero, arp_getdata() creates a nwio_eth_opt struct and sets the appropriate flags and type for an ethernet file descriptor that services an arp port:

nweo_flags= NWEO_COPY|NWEO_EN_BROAD|NWEO_TYPESPEC;
nweo_type= HTONS(ETH_ARP_PROTO);

and then returns an accessor that contains the struct.

ARS_ARPMAIN (operational state):

If count, arp_getdata()'s third parameter, is non-zero, arp_getdata() creates an arp packet (an arp46_t struct) and returns the struct. eth_write() calls arp_getdata() to create an arp-request or arp_reply packet (the packets that build the arp table. The ip and ethernet address of the arp-reply or request is gotten from the ap_write_ipaddr and ap_write_ethaddr fields, respectively, of the arp port.
