For the initial communication, Host A will send a broadcast ARP (all F’s) to determine the correctaddress to use to reach the destination.
ARP sends an Ethernet frame called an ARP request to every host on the shared link-layer
legmen. The Ethernet header includes the source host MAC address and a destination address of
all Fs representing a broadcast frame. The ARP request contains the sender’s MAC and IP
address and the target (destination) IP address. The target’s MAC address is set to all 0s.
