The purpose of ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) is to map physical addresses (such as the MAC address of a computer’s network card) to logical addresses (such as an IP address). It does this by sending a broadcast packet to all computers on the network, which then responds with its MAC and IP address. ARP is a necessary protocol for communication between hosts in a local area network (LAN).
