为什么 ARP 中使用 00:00:00:00:00:00 地址而不是广播地址 ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff？

以下是我精简的ARP规则集，仅显示广播规则，其他规则（此处未显示）不相关。

请参阅有问题的代码注释（？）

#!/usr/sbin/nft -f

add chain arp arp_table input {
    # filter = 0
    # Packets delivered to the local system
    type filter hook input priority filter; policy drop;
}

add chain arp arp_table output {
    # filter = 0
    # Packets send by the local system
    type filter hook output priority filter; policy drop;
}

# ARP Broadcast address
define broadcast_ether = { ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff }

# IPv4 network address
define network_addr_4 = { 192.168.1.0/24 }

# NIC ether address
define physical_ether = { bb:c9:51:d4:4a:b6 }

# Why input to broadcast address never hits?
# This rule should handle broadcast input
add rule arp arp_table input arp daddr ether $broadcast_ether log prefix "ACCEPT input broadcast: " accept

# Why input to 00:00:00:00:00:00 hits instead?
# This rule handles input toward 00:00:00:00:00:00 from LAN
add rule arp arp_table input arp saddr ip $network_addr_4 arp daddr ether 00:00:00:00:00:00 accept

# Why output to broadcast never hits?
# This rule should handle output toward ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff to LAN
add rule arp arp_table output arp daddr ether $broadcast_ether log prefix "ACCEPT output broadcast: " accept

# Why output to 00:00:00:00:00:00 hits instead?
# This rule handles output toward 00:00:00:00:00:00 to LAN
add rule arp arp_table output arp saddr ether $physical_ether arp daddr ether 00:00:00:00:00:00 accept

这里有几个问题，主要问题是ARP广播流量ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff不存在，这就是为什么我添加了日志语句以希望捕获这种流量，但它从未出现，对于input和output流量都如此。

相反，我看到很多针对00:00:00:00:00:00地址的输入/输出，这表明该00:00:00:00:00:00地址某种程度上是广播地址。

所以主要的问题是为什么我看不到ARP指向广播地址的流量以及为什么00:00:00:00:00:00使用地址来代替？

第二个问题是，什么是00:00:00:00:00:00地址？为什么需要它以及它意味着什么？

如果我阻止来往的流量00:00:00:00:00:00（例如，通过删除这些规则），那么网络将由于此类ARP数据包被丢弃而停止运行。
