TCP/IP Basics |
 | | When a host recognizes an ARP request containing its own IP address, it sends an ARP reply containing its hardware address. |
 | | There is also a Reverse ARP (RARP) protocol. |
 | | This is used by a host to find out its own IP address if it has no way of doing this except via the network. |
