On an Ethernet network, ARP packets are classified into ARP Request packets and ARP Response packets. In the initial communication phase, how are ARP Request packets transmitted on the network?
Broadcast all the way, baby! It's the only way to make sure your ARP Request gets out there and finds its target. Anything else would be like trying to play hide-and-seek with a blindfold on.
Broadcast is the way to go! I mean, how else are you gonna find that elusive MAC address? Multicast? Pfft, that's for amateurs. Unicast? That's just asking for trouble.
Okay, let's think this through. ARP Request packets need to reach the target device, so it's gotta be broadcast. Anything else just wouldn't make sense.
Ah, the classic ARP dance! Gotta love how those Request packets just broadcast their way across the network. It's like a networking version of the chicken dance, but with less feathers and more ethernet frames.
