This is because the arp table in your machine is overflowing.
This never happens. A timeout is normally provided for entries in the
ARP cache. Normally we hav a timeout of 20 minutes for a completed entry and 3
minutes for an incomplete entry. Also, the 20 min timeout will get restarted
for an entry each time it gets used up. So whenever a new Internet add to mac
address mapping happens, then, this new entry will replace the oldest entry
present there in the arp cache. So I assure u, that the arp table never
overflows.
Ok, how does neighbour table relates to arp tables ?
In ur network (which u specified in ur previous mail), try arp -a and verify
the entries.
