Help with Values in code

From Dheeraj Kandula@21:1/5 to All on Tue Jun 28 22:10:01 2022

Hi All,
I am trying to figure out how often the DAD NS packets are sent when
more than 1 NS has to be sent for DAD. dad_transmits denotes the number of
NS that will be sent for DAD.

The code is as given below:

addrconf_mod_dad_work <https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/C/ident/addrconf_mod_dad_work>(ifp <https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/C/ident/ifp>,
max <https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/C/ident/max>(NEIGH_VAR
<https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/C/ident/NEIGH_VAR>(ifp <https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/C/ident/ifp>->idev <https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/C/ident/idev>->nd_parms <https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/C/ident/nd_parms>,
RETRANS_TIME),
HZ <https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/C/ident/HZ>/100));

I figured out that NEIGH_VAR_RETRANS_TIME is HZ.

Is the NS sent after every 1 second.
