The following example shows IP addresses that might be used with an office network that consists of six hosts plus a router. The six hosts addresses are:
Proxy ARP is a technique by which a proxy server on a given network answers the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) queries for an IP address that is not on that network. The proxy is aware of the location of the traffic's destination and offers its own MAC address as the (ostensibly final) destination. [1]
