(InARP) Additions to ARP typicallyused for Frame Relay. [Any other examples of its use?]Frame Relay stations route frames of a higher levelprotocol between LANs, across a Permanent Virtual Circuit.These stations are identified by their Data Link ControlIdentifier (DLCI), equivalent to an Ethernet address in aLAN itself.InARP allows a station to determine a protocol address (e.g.IP address) from a DLCI. This is useful if a new virtualcircuit becomes available. Signalling messages announce itsDLCI, but without the corresponding protocol address it isunusable: no frames can be routed to it.Reverse ARP (RARP) performs a similar task on an EthernetLAN, however RARP answers the question "What is my IPAddress?" whereas InARP answers the question "What is yourprotocol address?".See RFC 2390.
