The Address
Resolution Protocol is
|
|
|
used by a sending
host when it
|
|
|
knows the IP
address of the
|
|
|
destination but
needs the Ethernet
|
|
|
address.
|
|
|
|
ARP is a
broadcast protocol - every
|
|
|
host on the
network receives the
|
|
|
request.
|
|
|
|
Each host checks
the request
|
|
|
against its IP
address - the right one
|
|
responds.
