fingbox issues arp.src.proto_ipv4 too frequently

DG12

Typical Wireshark  with filter arp.src.proto_ipv4 == 192.168.1.22 shows queries at
16:11:47.90, 16:11:58.13, 16:12:47:90, 16:12:58.03
Why is this so frequent?
This verges on flooding!

As far as I know it's not something you can adjust. It's not something most would likely want to change since it would make Fingbox less responsive.

@Carlo_from_Fing @Ciaran may know more about it, or perhaps turn it into a feature request.

There is an option to slow down frequency of ARP / discovery from fingbox: enable slow discovery mode from fingbox settings, from mobile app.

Why do you think an arp query every 10 seconds is the verge of flooding? It's how Fingbox monitors for device changes.

Thanks for you reply.
Sending requests to 255 ip address every 10 seconds seems aggressive.
Is that tunable customizable?

Thanks for you reply.
