Using ARP to implement transparent subnet gateways
Smoot Carl-Mitchell, J. Quarterman · 1987
Status of this MemoThis RFC describes the use of the Ethernet Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) by subnet gateways to permit hosts on the connected subnets to communicate without being aware of the existence of subnets, using the technique of "Proxy ARP" [6].It is based on RFC-950 [1], RFC-922 [2], and RFC-826 [3] and is a restricted subset of the mechanism of RFC-925 [4].Distribution of this memo is unlimited.
