Bon, un +1, un résolu et un merci peut être lol
Et pour être complet dans ma réponse voici un extrait du RFC 4436 qui montre que la requête ARP en unicast peut arriver dans plusieurs situations, donc je vous donne la citation du RFC en anglais, je suis sure que vous n'avez pas besoin de traduction. En tout cas la référence complète est sur le site de l'IETF :
"The use of unicast ARP has a number of benefits. One benefit is that
unicast packets impose less burden on the network than broadcast
packets, particularly on 802.11 networks where broadcast packets may
be sent at rates as low as 1 Mb/sec. Another benefit is that if the
host is not on the link it hoped to find itself on, a broadcast ARP
Request could pollute the ARP caches of peers on that link. When
using private addresses [RFC1918], another device could be
legitimately using the same address, and a broadcast ARP Request
could disrupt its communications, causing TCP connections to be broken, and
similar problems. Also, using a unicast ARP packet
addressed to the MAC address of the router the host is expecting to
find means that if the host is not on the expected link there will be
no device with that MAC address, and the ARP packet will harmlessly
disappear into the void without doing any damage.
