At first instance people would believe that the gratuitous ARP request is an ARP spoff attack , which is not always true.
Most hosts on a network will send out a Gratuitous ARP when they are initialising their IP stack. This Gratuitous ARP is an ARP request for their own IP address and is used to check for a duplicate IP address. If there is a duplicate address then the stack does not complete initialisation.
