Gratuitous in this case means a request/reply that is not normally needed according to the ARP specification (RFC 826) but could be used in some cases. A gratuitous ARP request is an AddressResolutionProtocol request packet where the source and destination IP are both set to the IP of the machine issuing the packet and the destination MAC is the broadcast address ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff. Ordinarily, no reply packet will occur. A gratuitous ARP reply is a reply to which no request has been made.
Dynamic ARP table entries are created whne a client makes an ARP request that cannot be satisfied by data already in the ARP table.
ARP = Air Raid Precautions.
Two potential network problems that can result from ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) operation are ARP spoofing and ARP cache poisoning. In ARP spoofing, an attacker sends false ARP messages to associate their MAC address with the IP address of another device, leading to man-in-the-middle attacks. ARP cache poisoning involves corrupting the ARP cache of a device by injecting incorrect mappings, which can disrupt network communication and redirect traffic maliciously. Both issues can compromise network security and integrity.
ARP is a Third layer or Network layer protocol. ARP is an address resolution protocol . The mechanism used by ARP to resolve IP address is look up table.
The purpose of an arp request is to map an IP address to a MAC address for the link layer to transmit a packet. For example, ARP will get a request to map 1.2.3.4 to a MAC address 12:fd:23:gf .Then ARP will cache the address mapping that next time an arp request doesnt need to happen
There are no perfect rhymes for the word gratuitous.
Gratuitous means unwarranted. It can also man done free of charge. Dinner was gratuitous with your room rental. Gratuitous advice is not always welcome.
The jury found the man's crime to be gratuitous.
Gratuitous Space Battles happened in 2009.

I chose not to view films featuring gratuitous violence!
There was gratuitous violence in the movie, which many people did not like.
Gratuitous is defined as something given or granted with charge. A person may be gratuitous with their money and opt to give it to charity, with no recognition or repayment in kind. The word gratuitous may also be labeled with a certain act (e.g. gratuitous violence, profanity, etc.), which is doing something for the sake of doing something.
