If I have

>ip ro
192.168.14.0/24 dev eth0

another host can obtain my mac address. But if I flush routing info:

>ip ro flush table main

arp resolution doesn't work. Broadcast packets "Who has 192.168.14.149" reach eth0 but OS (Linux) doesn't respond despite eth0 has address 192.168.14.149. What connection exists between routing and arp resolution?
