Q1.My Question is, Node C will also reply to that request of Node A. SO
now Node A has 2 different MAC for the same IP. How is Node A handling
this situation???
Q2.The switch also updates its table of IP/MAC address bindings, so how
is switch handling this situation???
Is it "first-come-first-serve" methodology which Node A/Switch takes???

I don't know how correct this is, but I would of thought the Node A/Switch
would update whatever stored record of IP/MAC it has with the new details.
