The address resolution protocol (ARP) is used to associate the 32
bit IP address with the 48 bit physical address, used by a host or a router to
find the physical address of another host on its network by sending a ARP query
packet that includes the IP address of the receiver.
The reverse address resolution protocol (RARP) allows a host to
discover its Internet address when it knows only its physical address.
