What is ARP (Address Resolution Protocol)?
ARP is same as
Roll Call in school. ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) is how network devices
associate MAC (Media Access Control) Addresses with IP (Internet Protocol)
addresses. It enables devices on a local computer network to find each-other.
Every networked computer has two
addresses known as:
1) MAC Address
2) IP Address
MAC (Media Access Control) ADDRESS
This address is unique
identifier e.g. 00-00-0c-36-12-5d that is usually hard-coded into a NIC
(Network Interface Card) by its manufacturer, which is permanent and does not
change.
