What Does ARP Stand For?
ARP stands for Address Resolution Protocol
ARP, or Address Resolution Protocol, is a network protocol used to map an Internet Protocol (IP) address to a physical machine address in a local area network (LAN). It facilitates communication between devices by resolving the logical IP address into a corresponding Media Access Control (MAC) address, enabling data packets to reach the correct hardware over the network. ARP operates at the link layer of the OSI model and is essential for the proper functioning of IPv4 networks.
