response to ARP requests / generation of gratuitous ARPs (complementary to post 24)

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. trying to communicate two ostinato ports through a routed network
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
-traffic won't go through because the routers facing OSTINATO ports do not know 
the OSTINATO mac addresses
-I can think of two ways of solving this, the first is for each OSTINATO port 
to generate gratuitous ARPS before the test starts. The second (probably more 
complex) would be for any port to respond anytime to arp requests with the 
configured mac address. 

What version and revision of the product are you using (available in the
About dialog)? On what operating system?


Please provide any additional information below.

Note that it has always been possible to configure a gratuitous ARP stream 
before the actual stream as a workaround for this.

Will track 'responding to ARP requests' in this issue
