//RARP
document.writeln('
An acronym for Reverse Address Resolution Protocol. A TCP/IP protocol used by a diskless workstation to obtain its IP address. Network administrator creates a table in a local network server that holds DLC addresses of workstations and corresponding IP addresses. At boot time, a workstation sends a RARP request with its hardware DLC address. Then the RARP server replies with the RARP packet containing an IP address for that workstation. This functionality makes RARP the opposite of the ARP protocol. ');
