need i send an ARP REPLY if inquiry_arp.target_ip not me?

Post by miaowei »

Hi ~
i am implementing the ARP protocol for my kernel.
I want to know, if i receive an ARP inquiry whose target ip is not me, need i reply for it ?
i have read the wiki, but didn't find an answer.
in my opinion, i should rely only when the inquiry_arp.target_ip == 0, which means he want to know the MAC of all machines within a local network.
