Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) is used in networks such as Ethernet to associate a layer 3 address (such as an IP address) to a layer 2 address (such as an ethernet Media Access Control address).

Also available is RARP, or Reverse ARP, used in network-booting of older equipment that does not use DHCP or BootP.
