ARP : Address Resolution Protocol
Introduction

ARP (Address Resolution Protocol)


It used to require the IP address of the Ethernet
address.
Address resolution provides a mapping between
the two different forms of address.


32-bit Internet address
48-bit Ethernet address

RARP
48-bit Ethernet address
ARP and RARP

ARP



ARP provides a dynamic mapping from an IP
address to the corresponding hardware address.
We use the term dynamic since it happens
automatically and is normally not a concern of either
the application user or the system administrator.
RARP (Reverse Address Resolution Protocol)

RARP is used by systems without a disk drive but
requires manual configuration by the system
administrator.

Operation of ARP (An Example)
1.
2.
3.
The application calls the function
“gethostbybame” to convert the hostname
into its 32-bits IP address.
The FTP client ask its TCP to establish a
connection with that IP address.
TCP sends a connection request segment
to the remote host by sending an IP
datagram to its IP address.
Operation of ARP (An Example)
4.
If the destination host is on a locally
attached network, the IP datagram can be
sent directly to that host.
If the destination host is on a remote
network, the IP routing function determines
the Internet address of a locally attached
next-hop router to send the IP datagram to.
Operation of ARP (An Example)
5.
6.
Assuming an Ethernet, the sending host
must convert the 32-bit IP address into a
48-bit Ethernet address.
ARP is intended for broadcast networks
where many hosts or routers are connected
to a single network.
ARP sends an Ethernet frame called an
ARP request to every host on the network.
This is called broadcast.
Operation of ARP (An Example)
7.
8.
9.
The destination host’s ARP layer receives
this broadcast recognizes that the sender is
asking for its hardware address, and replies
with an ARP reply.
The ARP reply is received and the IP
datagram that forced the ARP request-reply
to be exchanged can now be sent.
The IP datagram is sent to the destination
host.
ARP Cache


Essential to the efficient operation of ARP is
the maintenance of an ARP cache on each
host.
arp command: The –a option displays all
entries in the cache.
% arp –a

Address Resolution Protocol
ARP packet format
HARDWARE ADDRESS TYPE contains 1 for Ethernet hardware.
PROTOCOL ADDRESS TYPE contains 0800 (hex) for IP.
HADDR LEN contains 6 for Ethernet hardware.
PADDR LEN contains 4 for IP.
OPERATION is either 1 (request) or 2 (response).
SENDER HADDR is the sender's hardware address.
SENDER PADDR is the sender's protocol address.
TARGET HADDR is the target's hardware address - all zeros in a request and the initial computer's address in a
response.
TARGET PADDR is the target's protocol address.
