RFC 1735:
Title: NBMA Address Resolution Protocol (NARP)

This document describes the NBMA Address Resolution Protocol (NARP).
NARP can be used by a source terminal (host or router) connected to a
Non-Broadcast, Multi-Access link layer (NBMA) network to find out the
NBMA addresses of the a destination terminal provided that the
destination terminal is connected to the same NBMA network. Although
this document focuses on NARP in the context of IP, the technique is
applicable to other network layer protocols as well. This RFC is a
product of the Routing over Large Clouds Working Group of the IETF.
IESG Note: Note that the work contained in this memo does not describe
an Internet standard. This work represents an early stage in the
ongoing efforts to resolve direct communication over NBMA subnets. It
is a suitable experimental protocol for early deployment. It is
expect that it will be superceded by other work being developed within
the IETF.
This memo defines an Experimental Protocol for the Internet community.
This memo does not specify an Internet standard of any kind.
Discussion and suggestions for improvement are requested.
