ARP/RARP

From DALL-E with some prompting
The image focuses on the primary uses and applications of ARP and RARP protocols in a network. ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) is utilized to translate IP addresses into MAC addresses to ensure packets are delivered to the correct destination. This information is stored in the ARP table, facilitating packet forwarding across the Ethernet network. On the other hand, RARP (Reverse Address Resolution Protocol) has largely been superseded by DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol). DHCP is commonly used to dynamically assign IP addresses to devices on a network and to automatically configure network setting information.
