Great Question!!! Seems that the only thing that is required is a
point-2-point communication as the IP address is known.
My 2 cents worth.

Subject: ARP Broadcast
Hi All,
Could any one explain why ARP needs to broadcast when looking for the MAC
address. Why not send a unicast using the given IP address.
Regards to all
