ARP (Address Resolution Protocol)
* find out the hardware (MAC) address of a device from an IP address
* used when a device wants to communicate with some other device on a local network (for example on an Ethernet network)
* sending device uses ARP to translate IP addresses to MAC addresses. The device sends an ARP request message containing the IP address of the receiving device.
* All devices on a local network segment see the message, but only the device that has that IP address responds with the ARP reply message containing its MAC address. The sending device now has enough information to send the packet to the receiving device.
