RARP: Reverse Address Resolution Protocol
From Network Dictionary Wiki
(Redirected from Reverse Address Resolution Protocol)
Reverse Address Resolution Protocol (RARP) allows a physical machine in a local area network to request its IP address from a gateway server's Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) table or cache. A network administrator creates a table in a local area network's gateway router that maps the physical machines’ (or Media Access Control [MAC]) addresses to corresponding Internet Protocol addresses.
