As mentioned on the other thread decent routers should resolve peer's IP to
mac when creating FIB adj and building rewrite entries.

There is no "first packet" notion nor any ARPing driven by packet
reception. This should apply to p2p adj as well as p2mp - classic LANs.

Are you guys saying that say MXes don't do that ?

Thx,
R.
