Default is 32, which is even commented with "/* default 32 ? */" - I found 
another thread via Google which discussed upping this to 512 for a 'Generic 
Box'

For a router that has 4k+ ARP entries, any recommendations? - e.g. 1024? / 
2048?

2048 seems sensible considering the other thread recommended it should be 
1/4 the table size (so, 4k entries in arp table = 2k hash?) or even 4k to 
cover expansion.
