Abstract
Systems and methods for handling an address resolution probe. An illustrative method includes receiving, at a first device on a network, an address resolution message from a second device on the network, determining whether the address resolution message is an address resolution probe message, and in response to determining that the address resolution message is an address resolution probe message, transmitting the address resolution message to a third device on the network regardless of whether a binding for a destination internet protocol (IP) address included in the address resolution message is stored in a bindings table accessible to the first device.
