> Then how can I make these ARP packets (maybe I can make a script ).

On my Linux box (Red Hat 7.0) there's a nice piece of code called arping. It works like ping but doesn't go as high as ICMP. It simply measures the latency between the arp request and reply it gets.
It seems it is a part of the IP-utils package.

a basic use of it, assuming you want to ping on an interface named eth0, is something like:

arping -I eth0  ip_address_you_want_to_ping
