Detailed Description

ARP Address Resolution Protocol

The Address Resolution Protocol is used to do a hardware address resolution for a given IP address. The D.SignT TCP/IP stack uses the ARP in background to maintain MAC/IP address pairs. No user intervention is necessary for UDP or TCP use. For RAW IP packets the ARP cache is not valid and the user must perform the address resolution manually.
