Reverse Address Resolution Protocol
<networking, protocol> (RARP) A protocol defined in RFC 903 which
provides the reverse function of ARP. RARP maps a hardware address (MAC address)
to an Internet address. It is used primarily by diskless nodes, when they first
initialise, to find their Internet address.
See also BOOTP.
