Provider standard ARP Timeout?

Fri Aug 10 15:45:59 UTC 2012

I am using arp-timeout 900 (means 15min), because of having problems with
my upstream ethernet connection and everything is ok, and I have not seen
any relation between MAC Address aging time and that, aging time is default
300sec for me ;)
Thanks
