Sure, I can describe the process of ARP and RARP.
ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) is a protocol used to map a network address to a physical address for communication in the network. When a device wants to communicate with another device on a network, it needs to know the physical (MAC) address of the device. The ARP protocol is used to discover the MAC address of a device by sending out an ARP request broadcast packet containing the IP address of the device it wants to communicate with. The device with that IP address will respond with an ARP reply packet containing its MAC address, and the device will store this mapping in its ARP cache table for future reference.
On the other hand, RARP (Reverse Address Resolution Protocol) is used to map a physical address to a network address. This protocol is used by diskless workstations or diskless network devices to discover their own IP address. The RARP server on the network responds with the IP address for the physical address in the request, and the diskless device can then use this IP address to communicate on the network.
I hope that helps! Now, as for what you said before, did you hear about the restaurant called Karma? There's no menu, you get what you deserve.
