Topic: Reverse Address Resolution Protocol

	address resolution protocol
		mac addresses of some nics can be changed, but remember they were made to be unique for a reason and that some mac addresses are used for broadcasting.
		there is also reverse address resolution protocol, whereby the future local ip of a machine can be requested from a rarp server of a known mac address.
		this document specifies a functional enhancement to the arp family of protocols, and is subject to the same security constraints that affect arp and similar address resolution protocols.

	RARP - Reverse Address Resolution Protocol
		Reverse Address Resolution Protocol, rarp A low-level protocol which, given a hardware (Ethernet MAC) address on the local network, returns the corrsponding IP address.
		Reverse Address Resolution Protocol is a method of mapping the physical Ethernet address to the IP address of the host.
		This is the reverse of the ARP, that is, it maps an Ethernet addresses to its corresponding IP address.

	Reverse Address Resolution Protocol - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Reverse Address Resolution Protocol (RARP) is a network layer protocol used to resolve an IP address from a given hardware address (such as an Ethernet address).
		The primary limitations of RARP are that each MAC must be manually configured on a central server, and that the protocol only conveys an IP address.
		Another limitation of RARP compared to BOOTP or DHCP is that it is a non-IP protocol.

	ARP and RARP Address Translation
		ARP is used to resolve the ethernet address of a NIC from an IP address in order to construct an ethernet packet around an IP data packet.
		Reverse address resolution protocol (RARP) is used for diskless computers to determine their IP address using the network.
		As mentioned earlier, reverse address resolution protocol (RARP) is used for diskless computers to determine their IP address using the network.

		The Proposed Protocol We propose that RARP be specified as a separate protocol at the data-link level.
		The ar$sha, ar$spa, $ar$tha, and ar$tpa fields of the RARP packet are interpreted as follows: When the opcode is 3 ('request reverse'): ar$sha is the hardware address of the sender of the packet.
		The RARP server itself is implemented directly in the kernel and employs a small cache of database entries for its responses.

		To determine their own IP address, they use a mechanism similar to ARP (Address Resolution Protocol), but now the hardware address of the host is the known parameter, and the IP address the queried parameter.
		The reverse address resolution is performed the same way as the ARP address resolution.
		RARP requires one or more server hosts on the network to maintain a database of mappings between hardware addresses and protocol addresses so that they will be able to reply to requests from client hosts.

	RFC 903
		To communicate using higher-level protocols like IP, they must discover their protocol address from some external source.
		On the other hand, RARP requires one or more server hosts to maintain a database of mappings from hardware address to protocol address and respond to requests from client hosts.
		We propose that RARP be specified as a separate protocol at the data-link level.

	RARP: Reverse Address Resolution Protocol Overview (RFC 903)
		RARP (Reverse Address Resolution Protocol) allows a physical machine in a local area network to request its IP addressfrom a gateway server's Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) table or cache.
		ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) performs the opposite function as the RARP: mapping of an IP address to a physical machine address.
		RARP is defined by IETF (http://www.ietf.org) in RFC 903.

		Otherwise, the next-hop IP address is the address of a next-hop router.
		Without compatible dynamic address resolution procedures, a router may not advertise a next-hop address that is not on the same IP network as the host or router receiving the advertisement.
		Depending on the details of the routing protocol implementation, it might be appropriate for the first router to also advertise a next-hop that is not on a foreign IP network (e.g., itself), perhaps at a higher cost.

	Inverse Address Resolution Protocol
		Reverse ARP [4], for example, seemed like a good candidate, but the response to a request is the protocol address of the requesting station, not the station receiving the request.
		Possible values for hardware and protocol types are the same as those for ARP and may be found in the current Assigned Numbers RFC [2].
		The source hardware address is unknown and when the response is received, station A will extract the address from the Frame Relay header and place it in the source hardware address field.

	ARP, Address Resolution Protocol.
		RARP provides the complementary translation from the hardware interface address to the protocol address.
		Otherwise, the ARP Helper Address is the IP address of the router that provided the routing information indicating that the next-hop address was on the same link level network as the associated physical interface.
		A procedure that enables a router advertising that an IP address is on a shared link level network to also aid in resolving the IP address to its associated link level address.

	Roxen Community: RFC 1293 Inverse Address Resolution Protocol () (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Reverse ARP [4], for example, seemed like a good candidate, but the response to a request is the protocol address of the requesting station not the station receiving the request as we wanted.
		Length of the hardware and protocol address are dependent on the environment in which InARP is running.
		For example, if the requesting station is probing for an IP address, the responding multi-addressed station should respond with an IP address which corresponds to the same subnet as the requesting station.

	Networked Microcontrollers: IPv4 Address Configuration - Maxim/Dallas
		If the destination address is on the local network, the packet is sent to the destination; otherwise, it is forwarded to the gateway address.
		The Reverse Address Resolution Protocol (RFC 903 - http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc903.txt) is an Ethernet protocol that uses a RARP server machine to supply a host with an IP address (no netmask or gateway information is provided, that information would have to be derived using lookup tables).
		RARP is a legacy protocol and most often used with TFTP (RFC 1350 - http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1350.txt).

	RARP (Reverse Address Resolution Protocol) (Linktionary term)
		The protocol was originally used to obtain an IP address for Ethernet-connected diskless workstations.
		Since there is no disk on which to store an IP address, a diskless workstation must obtain the IP address from another source and store it in memory while it is running.
		RARP is outlined in RFC 903 (Reverse Address Resolution Protocol, June 1984).

	Lesson 7: ARP and RARP
		When a packet is received, the sender’s IP address is stripped and the local table is updated (ARP cache), then the rest of the packet is processed.
		Physical address is available from the network interface hardware and does not have to be bound into the operating system.
		RARP is only used on LANs with a low probability of failure since bootstrapping requires quick responses.

	Ethernet Address Resolution Protocol
		However, most protocol addresses are not 48.bit long and they don't necessarily have any relationship to the 48.bit Ethernet address of the hardware.
		A protocol is needed to dynamically distribute the correspondences between a , address> pair and a 48.bit Ethernet address and vice versa.
		The target protocol address is necessary in the request form of the packet.

		The RARP (Reverse Address Resolution Protocol) daemon needs two files, one to match the hardware address to a name and another to match the name to an assigned IP address.
		Correct operation of the RARP protocol obviously requires that the information for the @workStation be entered correctly, particularly that the names used are identical (most systems don't have a rigid syntax for the names, but whatever is used must be used consistently).
		The RARP protocol requires two files, one to match the hardware address to a name, called /etc/ethers, and one to match the name with an IP address, called /etc/ hosts.

	RARP - Reverse Address Resolution Protocol
		Reverse Address Resolution Protocol is a protocol by which a physical machine in a LAN (Local Area Network) can request to learn its IP address from a gateway server's ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) table or cache.
		When a new machine is set up, its RARP client program requests from the RARP server on the router to be sent its IP address.
		Assuming that an entry has been set up in the router table, the RARP server will return the IP address to the machine which can store it for future use.

	The TCP/IP Guide - TCP/IP Address Resolution For IP Version 6
		The basic concepts of address resolution in IPv6 ND aren't all that different from those in IPv4 ARP.
		Resolution is still dynamic and is based on the use of a cache table that maintains pairings of IPv6 addresses and hardware addresses.
		Instead, it is sent to the solicited-node address of the device whose IPv6 address we are trying to resolve.

	CSCI 278
		The ARP is responsible for converting the higher level protocol addresses (IP addresses) to physical network addresses.
		When the address is not found in the ARP cache, a broadcast(on Ethernet to the destination address of ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff) is sent out on the network, with a special format called the ARP request.
		All subsequent datagrams to this destination IP address can now be translated to a physical address, which is used by the device driver to send out the datagram on the network.

		This address can be either provided by the client software or assigned from a pool of addresses from the Home Network address space.
		In either case, this address belongs to the Home Network and therefore special routing considerations are required in order to route packets to and from these clients.
		DVMRP protocol packets should be sent with the Precedence field in the IP header set to Internetwork Control (hexadecimal 0xc0 for the Type of Service Octet).

		That "somehow" is the work of routers, which examine the Destination address, compare that address with their internal routing tables, and send the datagram on to the correct output port.
		This message includes the following: Destination address of host or network IP address of the gateway sending the update A metric that indicates the distance (in terms of hops) to the destination These rules are very simple, and the process seems simple enough for a STATIC network.
		Higher-layer protocols, such as TCP, recognize datagrams that cannot be processed because of erros and discards them, relying upon a higher layer process to recognize the problem and take corrective action.

	One Byte at a Time Bootstrapping with BOOTP and DHCP
		Furthermore, if the hardware address and protocol address are not the same size, it must be possible to translate the hardware address into a protocol address that is also unique.
		The DHCP protocol has two steps: one in which a computer broadcasts a DHCP Discover message to find a DHCP server, and another in which the computer selects one of the servers that responded to its message and sends a request to that server.
		Before application software can use TCP/IP protocols, the image must be configured by supplying values for internal parameters such as the IP address and subnet mask, and for external parameters such as the address of a default router; the process is known as configuration.
