Gratuitous, in modern usage, often means 'unnecessary' although in the dictionary definition it probably means 'free.' When people refer to gratuitous violence or gratuitous sex they are usually criticizing violence or sex that didn't add anything to the plot but instead was just thrown in as a 'freebie.'

Gratuitous in this case means a request/reply that is not normally needed according to the ARP specification (RFC 826) but could be used in some cases.

The state of being gratuitous. "Gratuitous" (from the French word "gratuit" meaning free, without cost) means something which is thrown in without being required. These days it has a bed connotation, as it usually refers to a film, drama or book which includes scenes of sex or violence, just to tittilate the low-brows, when they are not really required by the plot.

You seem to be talking about violence. By ordinary polite standards of behavior, violence is abhorrent and causes discomfort not just to the victim but to onlookers. A slasher movie is one that uses violence because some people seem to enjoy watching it. So you're talking about a different standard than polite society calls for. Gratuitous violence is the sort that is shown just for its own sake, not because (for example) it's a war movie and war is inevitably violent. So if you have a slasher movie, you're going to have gratuitous violence. If there's even more unnecessary violence than the low standard of slasher movies calls for, you'd describe it in the words that you quoted in your question.
