- 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.
