Table Lookup Closed-Form Computation Dynamic Message Exchange
Address Resolution Protocol TCP/IP can use any of the three address
resolution method depending on the addressing scheme used by the underlying hardware
To guarantee that all computers agree
on the exact format and meaning of message used to resolve addresses, the TCP/IP protocol suite includes an Address Resolution Protocol (ARP)
Address Resolution Protocol
The ARP standard defines two basic
message types:
Request
Contains an IP address and requests the corresponding hardware address
Response
Contains both the IP address sent in the request and the hardware address
ARP Message Format
Although the ARP message format is sufficiently general to allow arbitrary protocol and hardware addresses:
ARP almost always used to bind a 32- bit IP address to a 48-bit Ethernet address
ARP Message Format
Sending An ARP Message
Identifying ARP responses
How does a computer know whether an incoming frame contains an ARP message?
The type field in the frame header specifies that the frame contains an ARP message.
The Ethernet standard species that the type field in an Ethernet frame carrying an ARP message must contain the hexadecimal value 0x806. Docsity.com
Caching ARP Responses
Although message exchange can be used to bind addresses, sending a request for each binding is hopelessly inefficient.
To reduce network traffic, ARP software extracts and saves the information from a response so it can be used for subsequent packets.
ARP manages the Table as a cache short term storage. Docsity.com
Processing an incoming ARP
Message
When an ARP message arrives, the
protocol specifies that the receiver must perform two basic steps:
First, the receiver extracts the sender’s
address binding and checks to see if it is present in the cache.
If not, it updates the cache.
Layering, Address Resolution,
Protocol Addresses
Address resolution (ARP) is a network interface layer function.
Protocol addresses used in all higher layers.
Hides ugly details and allows generality in upper layers.
