A method for translating one type of address into another -for example, an IP address into a MAC address.
Conversion of an Internet address to the corresponding physical address. On an ethernet, resolution requires broadcasting on the local area network.
Conversion of a network-layer address (e.g. IP address) into the corresponding physical address (e.g., MAC address). See also: IP address, MAC address. [Source: RFC1983
In NS networks, the mapping of node names to IP addresses and the mapping of IP addresses to subnet addresses. See also probe protocol, ARP.
A means for mapping Network Layer addresses onto media-specific addresses. This is what happens when you type in a host name, and your DNS server looks up the corresponding IP address.
Conversion of an internet address into a corresponding physical address. See ARP. - adjacent - Node on the same physical network as the local node (DECnet)
Conversion of an address, eg Internet address, into a corresponding physical location.
Conversion of IP address into hardware address, see ARP.
Conversion of an internet address into the corresponding physical address.
Conversion of an IP Address to the corresponding low-level physical address.
The process of determining the link-layer address of a node whose network-layer address is known.
Conversion of an internet address into the corresponding physicaladdress. Address Resolution Protocol (ARP)
n. The identification of a computer's hardware address by finding the corresponding match in an address mapping table. See also address mapping table.
Session Control function that maps from a DECnet-Plus full name to the identifiers of protocols and corresponding addresses that are mutually supported by the local system and the remote system on which the named object resides.
Mapping of an IP address to a machine's physical address. TCP/IP uses the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) for this function.
Techniques by which the addressing schemes of network-layer (See OSI, Layer 3) addresses are mapped onto data-link layer (See OSI, Layer 2) addresses.
Generally, a method for resolving differences between computer addressing schemes. Address resolution usually specifies a method for mapping network layer (Layer 3) addresses to data link layer (Layer 2) addresses. agent An object or application that can be a server, a client, or both.
