Address Resolution Protocol (ARP)

Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) is the conversion of IP address to physical address or Mac address. It is usually a broadcast message. Routers talk to each other and their computers using ARP. A router broadcast message to all port until the right port of host gets the message. The computers in a network do not speak directly to IP address but talk directly to Mac address.

It is a thing of joy and pleasure for me sharing my knowledge and experiences with others. Become a WIZIAN today! Please scroll down to the bottom of this blog and subscribe to the newsletter and get updates through emails. Not forgetting to leave a comment below after reading this post.
