Correction To ARP
On page 75, in the last paragraph, through page 76, in the first two paragraphs, Change:

"When the ARP Reply is sent, it is sent to the defending node's MAC address. The unicast
ARP Reply does not correct the improper ARP cache entries. Therefore, to reset the ARP
cache entries that were improperly updated by the offending node's sending of the gratuitous
ARP Request, the defending node sends another broadcast ARP Request. The
defending node's ARP Request is a gratuitous ARP, as if the defending node were doing
its own conflict detection. The defending node’s ARP Request contains the SHA set to
the defending node's MAC address. Network segment nodes that have had their ARP cache
entries improperly set to [conflicting IP address, offending node's MAC address] are
reset to the proper mapping of [conflicting IP address, defending node’s MAC address].

The Network Monitor trace in Capture 03-02 (in the Captures folder on the companion
CD-ROM) shows the gratuitous ARP and address conflict exchange. Frame 1 is the
offending node's gratuitous ARP. Frame 2 is the defending node's ARP Reply. Frame 3 is
the defending node's gratuitous ARP. At the end of Frame 3, all network segment nodes
that have the IP address 169.254.0.1 in their ARP caches have been reset to the proper
MAC address of 0x00-60-97-02-6D-3D."To:

DEFENDING Should Be OFFENDING On page 75 there is an error in describing how DHCP Duplicate IP Address Detection is handled. The text states that after a DHCP conflict the DEFENDING system will broadcast an additional gratuitous ARP to reset the host in the broadcast domain. It is actually the OFFENDING system that sends the additional gratuitous ARP with a spoofed MAC address of the defending system.Change:"DEFENDING"To:"OFFENDING"
