ARP Protocol

The Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) is fundamental in computer networks to map IP addresses to physical link layer addresses (MAC). Its main function is to find the MAC address associated with a specific IP address on a local network. When one device needs to communicate with another on the same network, it uses ARP to determine the MAC address of the destination before sending data. Do you think the ARP question is a message of dissemination? Make a Wireshark capture of an ARP request and analyze it to justify your response. Yes, it is a message of dissemination as in the header we can see that the destination has a broadcast address. This address is the one that has all its bits at 1 which in the mac addresses is translated into FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF.
