Another open loop method to help manage congestion is forcing the packet to be transmitted at a more predictable rate. This is called traffic shaping.

Answer - 98 : - is using a router to answer ARP requests. This will be done when the originating host believes that a destination is local, when in fact is lies beyond router.
