Abstract
Proactive sending of an IP-to-MAC address binding for a node is performed if a node is determined to be a high fan-in node. If the node is determined to be a high fan-in node, the node periodically sends its IP-to-MAC address binding to nodes in a network. If the node is not determined to be a high fan-in node, the node sends its IP-to-MAC address binding in response to receiving a request for the node's IP-to-MAC address binding.
