    I have a router on Debian 12. The static / permanent arp entries are disappearing in the system :/

    This report is not very specific :-). Could you give me some more details
    on what these ARP entries look like exactly i.e. show the command/config
    you use to create them?

    I'd also recommend watching ip-monitor(8) to firgure out when this is
    happening exactly. Something like:

    $ stdbuf -oL ip -t monitor all | tee /tmp/ipmon.log

    or alternatively you can dump the raw kernel events into a file using
    rtmon(8) and print them later:

    $ rtmon file /tmp/rtmon.log
    [...]
    $ ip monitor file /tmp/rtmon.log

    IIRC even the raw rtmon dump doesn't contain the PID of the process making
    the change but we should be able to correlate the removal with what else is going on.

    Please attach an event dump in one of those formats. Beware: The files will
    be public in the Debian BTS. Send it to me directly if you don't like
    sharing your IP(s) publically.
