Fast handoff of roaming MAC addresses.

Browse source 
In switch mode, if a known MAC address is claimed by a second node before it
expired at the first node, it is likely that this is because a computer has
roamed from the LAN of the first node to that of the second node. To ensure
packets for that computer are routed to the second node, the first node should
delete its corresponding Subnet as soon as possible, without waiting for the
normal expiry timeout.
