Ethernet, in the "old days", used to use a protocol called Carrier-sense multiple access with collision detection (CSMA/CD):
Either way, if you have many devices "talking" on the same LAN segment, it is normal for a packet to be delayed.
As vbe has mentioned (above), without the full details of your network topography and hosts; there is no way to answer your question accurately.
If you still need help, please post all the details so the experts here do not have to guess what you are doing.
Thanks.

rarpd(8c) rarpd(8c)
Name
rarpd - reverse address resolution protocol (RARP) daemon
Syntax
/usr/etc/rarpd [ interface ] [ -v ] [ -n ] [ -f filename ]
Description
The daemon maps the Ethernet address of a machine to the machine's Internet Protocol (IP) address.
When is invoked, it reads the file (by default) and waits to process a RARP request. The file is checked every ten minutes for any
changes. If the file has been modified, reads it again. You can disable this feature with the option. You can force a scan of the file by
sending the daemon a SIGHUP signal. See for more information on SIGHUP.
The format of the file is described in You can specify a file other than with the option. The interface is the network interface on which
the daemon should listen. The command shows the correct interface or interfaces for your system. The daemon uses the first interface it
finds, if you do not specify an interface. See the reference page for more information.
Because the daemon has been implemented with the Ethernet Packet Filter (see you must configure your kernel with the packet filter option
in order for to function properly. The packet filter detects RARP broadcast packets and passes them to for processing. The filter priority
for rarpd is set to 28.
All messages from the daemon are directed to
Options
interface Specifies the system's network interface.
-v Causes to operate in verbose mode. This option logs details of RARP to The instance of a RARP request and its response are
also logged.
-n Disables checking of the file. By default, checks the file once every ten minutes, and, if the file was modified, rereads
the file. If you specify the option scans the file once at startup time.
-f filename Reads an alternate Ethernet address file.
Restrictions
The ignores all ARP requests sent encapsulated within a RARP packet. You should make all ARP request using the command.
The machine for which an IP address is being requested must be present in the server's file.
Diagnostics
The following message is logged to if the Packet Filter is not configured in your kernel:
Packet Filter is not configured in /vmunix
The following messages are printed to your screen if the Packet Filter is not configured in your kernel:
rarpd: cannot find symbol Pfilt_read in /vmunix
option PACKETFILTER does not appear to be configured in
your kernel.
