ARP PROTOCOL:(Address resolution protocol).


Need of Arp protocol:
In the network communication cannot possible without knowing the mac addresses of source and destination.
whenever a host want to communicate with another host , but they don't know their mac addresses so without knowing mac address communication cannot be possible between directly connected devices.

Main Points:

-Arp is a protocol which is used to resolve the mac address in the network.
-Arp protocol work between layer 2 and layer 3, means Arp  is 2.5 layer protocol.
