Abstract
Given the lack of authentication mechanisms, the address resolution protocols (ARPs) (address resolution protocol, neighbor discovery protocol, and so on) are vulnerable to attack, such as man in the middle and denial of service among others. Therefore, the safety problem of the address resolution (AR) has been significantly given focus, and, in this paper, two problems related to AR have been investigated. First, the indecisiveness of the AR is proven. Therefore, all decision methods adopted to ensure the AR are imperfect, second, the equivalence between the AR and the duplicate address detection (DAD) process is proven. Thus, the AR and the DAD process can be replaced by each other, and can even be completed by the same process which will significantly simplify the design and implementation of the address resolution protocol.
