1. It is cosco router
2. netmasks are OK, but we use unclassified ip, that is mask is varying
3. Netmasks of the two nodes: the FreeBSD and the micro are correct, they
   are 255.255.0.0
4. There is some nodes with some other masks between
   255.255.0.0 - 255.255.255.0

I think proxy arping is in use.
