AppleTalk Address Resolution Protocol
AppleTalk Address Resolution Protocol (AARP) is a term used in computer science .
The AppleTalk Address Resolution Protocol , or AARP for short , is a protocol that dynamically maps addresses from the data link layer to higher layers. AARP uses the physical token ring or Ethernet address to map the nodes in an AppleTalk network. As part of the AppleTalk MIB , the AARP table is able to manage the address mapping table.
It is defined in RFC 1742 .
The protocol is part of the data link layer .
The AppleTalk protocol stack
The AppleTalk protocols can be divided into several layers that form a protocol stack . The protocols can be classified in the ISO-OSI reference model as follows :
| OSI layer | AppleTalk protocol stack | ||||||
| 7th | AFP | PAP | |||||
| 6th | |||||||
| 5 | ZIP | ASP | ADSP | ||||
| 4th | ATP | AEP | NBP | RTMP | |||
| 3 | DDP | ||||||
| 2 | LLAP | ELAP | TLAP | FDDI | ← AARP | ||
| 1 | LocalTalk |
Ethernet driver |
Token Ring Driver |
