I intentionally did not mention ARP here.  I anticipate that other 
address resolution techniques will be needed.  Although, I guess that I 
can call out ARP use for now, and change the documentation later.

I will start a thread on possible other techniques soon.

This matches the wording in the IB spec: section 11.2.4.2. page 573.
