  1. ARP : Address Resolution Protocol

  2. Introduction • ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) • It used to require the IP address of the Ethernet address. • Address resolution provides a mapping between the two different forms of address. • 32-bit Internet address • 48-bit Ethernet address 32-bit Internet address ARP RARP 48-bit Ethernet address

  3. ARP and RARP • ARP • ARP provides a dynamic mapping from an IP address to the corresponding hardware address. • We use the term dynamic since it happens automatically and is normally not a concern of either the application user or the system administrator. • RARP (Reverse Address Resolution Protocol) • RARP is used by systems without a disk drive but requires manual configuration by the system administrator.

  4. Operation of ARP hostname hostname resolver FTP (1) IP addr (2) Establish connection with IP address TCP (3) Send IP datagram to IP address IP (4) ARP (5) (6) (8) (9) Ethernet driver ARP request (Ethernet broadcast) Ethernet driver Ethernet driver (7) ARP ARP IP TCP

  5. Operation of ARP (An Example) • The application calls the function “gethostbybame” to convert the hostname into its 32-bits IP address. • The FTP client ask its TCP to establish a connection with that IP address. • TCP sends a connection request segment to the remote host by sending an IP datagram to its IP address.

  6. Operation of ARP (An Example) • If the destination host is on a locally attached network, the IP datagram can be sent directly to that host. If the destination host is on a remote network, the IP routing function determines the Internet address of a locally attached next-hop router to send the IP datagram to.

  7. Operation of ARP (An Example) • Assuming an Ethernet, the sending host must convert the 32-bit IP address into a 48-bit Ethernet address. ARP is intended for broadcast networks where many hosts or routers are connected to a single network. • ARP sends an Ethernet frame called an ARP request to every host on the network. This is called broadcast.

  8. Operation of ARP (An Example) • The destination host’s ARP layer receives this broadcast recognizes that the sender is asking for its hardware address, and replies with an ARP reply. • The ARP reply is received and the IP datagram that forced the ARP request-reply to be exchanged can now be sent. • The IP datagram is sent to the destination host.

  9. ARP Cache • Essential to the efficient operation of ARP is the maintenance of an ARP cache on each host. • arp command: The –a option displays all entries in the cache. % arp –a sw-a09.csce.kyushu-u.ac.jp (133.5.22.33) at 00:30:84:8f:2b:95 on fxp0 [ethernet] choco.csce.kyushu-u.ac.jp (133.5.22.58) at 00:07:e9:15:0b:8f on fxp0 [ethernet]

  10. ARP Packet Format • Format of ARP request or reply packet when used on an Ethernet. Ethernet destination addr Ethernet Source addr frame type 6 6 2 Ethernet header hard size prot size hard type prot type op Sender Ethernet addr Sender IP addr target Ethernet addr target IP addr 2 1 1 6 4 6 4 2 2 28 byte ARP request/reply

  12. ARP packet format HARDWARE ADDRESS TYPE contains 1 for Ethernet hardware. PROTOCOL ADDRESS TYPE contains 0800 (hex) for IP. HADDR LEN contains 6 for Ethernet hardware. PADDR LEN contains 4 for IP. OPERATION is either 1 (request) or 2 (response). SENDER HADDR is the sender's hardware address. SENDER PADDR is the sender's protocol address. TARGET HADDR is the target's hardware address - all zeros in a request and the initial computer's address in a response. TARGET PADDR is the target's protocol address.
