Abstract The invention relates generally to the field of networking. More specifically, it relates to the use of the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) and to ensuring that only a single and consistent reply is generated in response to each ARP request. The invention ensures that a single and consistent reply is made to ARP requests in a system of connected IP networks in which each host can contain combinations of host adapters, offload adapters and virtual IP addresses.
