How many responses does a computer expect to receive when it broadcast an ARP request? Why?
An ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) request message is put in a hardware frame and broadcast to all computer upon the network. All computers receive the request and examine the IP address. The computer mentioned into the request sends a response, each other computer process and discard the request without sending a reply.
Therefore response will be acquired only from the machine for that request is being sent not for the other machines upon the network.
