Comment(by mbletsas):

 This is uncharted territory for the most part.
 WOL (Wake up On Lan) functionality is the closest thing, however at this
 point what we see can not be characterized as a bug since ARP requests are
 broadcasts and we should not really wake up on broadcasts.

 One possible solution is to make the ARP entries timeout very slowly. In
 that way one host can contact another without having to go through ARP
 discovery.
