ARP

Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) is a Layer 2 protocol that is used to discover the Data Link Layer address that is associated with a particular Network Layer address. ARP is most often used to discover the MAC address associated with a particular IPv4 address. ARP is used to maintain the ARP table within a network device.

In IPv6, the functionality of ARP is provided by the Neighbor Discovery Protocol (NDP)
