RARP (Reverse Address Resolution Protocol) is a network protocol used to convert physical layer addresses (such as MAC addresses) to IP addresses. It is used by hosts to determine their own IP addresses when they are configured to use RARP. RARP works in a similar way to ARP (Address Resolution Protocol), but in reverse. While ARP is used to translate an IP address to a physical address, RARP is used to translate a physical address to an IP address.
