  1. Binding Protocol Addresses (ARP)

  2. Resolving Addresses • Hardware only recognizes MAC addresses • IP only uses IP addresses • Consequence: software needed to perform translation • Part of network interface • Known as address resolution

  3. Address Resolution • Layer 2 protocol • Given • A locally-connected network, N • IP address C of computer on N • Find • Hardware address for C • Technique • Address Resolution Protocol

  4. Address Resolution

  5. Address Resolution Techniques • Table Lookup • Bindings or mappings are stored in a table in the memory • Closed-form computation • The computer’s hardware address can be computed from the protocol address • Message exchange

  6. Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) • Keep bindings in table • Table entry contains pair of addresses for one computer • IP address • Hardware address • Build table automatically as needed

  7. ARP Table • Only contains entries for computers on local network • IP network prefix in all entries identical

  8. An Example of Direct Lookup for a Class C Network

  9. ARP Lookup Algorithm • Look for target IP address, T, in ARP table • If not found • Send ARP request message to T • Receive reply with T’s hardware address • Add entry to table • Return hardware address from table

  10. Illustration Of ARP Exchange • W needs Y’s hardware address • Request sent via broadcast • Reply sent via unicast

  11. ARP Message Format (For Ethernet) • Length of hardware address fields depend on network type • Ethernet uses 48-bit addresses

  12. Transmission Of ARPMessage In A Frame • ARP message sent in payload area of frame • Called encapsulation

  13. Frame Type • Frame type identifies message as ARP • Receiver examines frame type

  14. Important Note • Because ARP software is part of the network interface software, all higher-layer protocols and applications can use IP addresses exclusively, and remain completely unaware of hardware addresses.

  15. Layered Protocol Software
