When an incoming packet destined for a host arrives at the access point, the access point's gateway uses ARP to find a physical
host or MAC address that matches the IP address. ARP looks in its ARP cache and, if it finds the address, provides it so the
packet can be converted to the right packet length and format and sent to the destination. If no entry is found for the IP address,
ARP broadcasts a request packet in a special format to all the machines on the LAN to see if one machine knows it has that IP
address associated with it. A machine that recognizes the IP address as its own returns a reply indicating as such. ARP updates
the ARP cache for future reference and then sends the packet to the MAC address that replied.
