The project aims to implement a “Perfect” version of ARP and NDP which produce caches that contain all needed IP address–MAC address mapping.
ARP and NDP are sometimes intrusive in high-level testing, it will introduce unexpected noise to the simulation (unwanted delays, packet drops, etc.). Perfect ARP/NDP can ensure every ARP/NDP look-up hits the cache so that no ARP messages or Neighbor discovery messages will be generated.
