Abstract
An exemplary network controller may be configured to perform ARP mediation through passively learning MAC addresses on client sides and keeping track of IP/MAC/Attachment point associations, hijacking ARP requests received by the core nodes through a packet_in operation or a redirection to other agents, injecting proxy ARP replies that provide target MAC information without the actual target being involved, and possibly programming the network nodes with the static ARP responding rule for a specified duration.
