The Address Resolution Protocol (Arp) allows a host to find the media access control address of a host on the same physical network, given the IP address of the host. To make ARP efficient, each computer caches IPÂÂÂtoÂÂÂmedia access control address mappings to eliminate repetitive Arp broadcast requests.

You can use the arp -acommand to view the Arp table entries on a specified host. The arp command is useful for viewing the Arp cache and resolving address resolution problems.
