- A router with an interface to two IP networks via the same link level
- interface could observe that the two IP networks share the same link
- level network, and could advertise that information to hosts (via
- ICMP Redirects) and routers (via dynamic routing protocols).
- However, a host or router on only one of the IP networks could not
- use that information to communicate directly with hosts and routers
- on the other IP network unless it could resolve IP addresses on the
- "foreign" IP network to their corresponding link level addresses.
- Directed ARP is a dynamic address resolution procedure that enables
- hosts and routers to resolve advertised potential next-hop IP
- addresses on foreign IP networks to their associated link level
- addresses.
