ARP
or address resolution protocol as we all tend to know it.
So this basically is used when we know the ip address or the logical address of some machine and don't know its mac or physical address.
Again physical addresses are used for sending the data to the user or host and network address to determine where is he located for e.g.
network address can be considered to be extension in a phone no that determines which country or state
and the remaining digits the actual phone. Needless to say that both of them are equally important.
OK so now that's done. RARP and IARP are reverse ARP and Inverse ARP.
Both of them are used when we don't know the network address but we are aware of the mac address
We implying the system. So then whats the difference??
Well RARP is used when the machine does not its own ip address but knows its mac address
and IARP is used when we know the layer 2 data but are unaware of the layer 3 mapping
I used the term 'mapping' in context to frame relays because this is where we will mostly come across the term IARP. It is when we know the DLCI information but we are unaware of the mapping.
Here we would be the device connected to the Frame Relay network.
