as u knw, ARP generally send when u are nt having the MAC addres of
the new router/device/dstination, but u r having IP ADDRESS of that
only....
Nw ans to ur question,
after SENDING UR ARP and after getting ur MAC of the destination, u r
doing unicast only...
.
Cnsider a senario, suppose u have to send a packet to a network having
10000 sytems...and u r having the IP address of one system only, will
it be fsible fr u to do unicasting,
by the way witiout IP ADDRES u cnt cmmunicate to them,
so ARP is send to all, whchevr match, will return its MAC address....
