A new Request for Comments is now available in online RFC libraries.
RFC 1293:
Title: Inverse Address Resolution Protocol
Author: T. Bradley & C.Brown
Mailbox: cbrown@wellfleet.com
Pages: 6
Characters: 11,368
This memo describes additions to ARP that will allow a station to
request a protocol address corresponding to a given hardware address.
Specifically, this applies to Frame Relay stations that may have a
Data Link Connection Identifier (DLCI), the Frame Relay equivalent of
a hardware address, associated with an established Permanent Virtual
Circuit (PVC), but do not know the protocol address of the station on
the other side of this connection. It will also apply to other
networks with similar circumstances.
This is now a Proposed Standard Protocol.
This RFC specifies an IAB standards track protocol for the Internet
community, and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements.
Please refer to the current edition of the "IAB Official Protocol
Standards" for the standardization state and status of this protocol.
Distribution of this memo is unlimited.
RFCs can be obtained via FTP from FTP.NISC.SRI.COM, NIS.NSF.NET,
NISC.JVNC.NET, VENERA.ISI.EDU, WUARCHIVE.WUSTL.EDU, or NIC.DDN.MIL.
Instructions for retrieving RFCs may be found in the file
"in-notes/rfc-retrieval.txt" on VENERA.ISI.EDU.
Requests to be added to or deleted from this distribution list should
be sent to RFC-REQUEST@NIC.DDN.MIL.
Requests for special distribution should be addressed to either the
author of the RFC in question, or to NIC@NIC.DDN.MIL. Unless
specifically noted otherwise on the RFC itself, all RFCs are for
unlimited distribution.
Submissions for Requests for Comments should be sent to
RFC-EDITOR@ISI.EDU. Please consult RFC 1111, "Instructions to RFC
Authors", for further information.
