Answer: Address Resolution Protocol

Explanation: ARP is the Address Resolution Protocol, used to translate between Layer 2 MAC addresses and Layer 3 IP addresses. ARP resolves IPs to MAC addresses by asking, “Who has IP address 192.168. 2.140, tell me.” An example of an ARP reply is “192.168. 2.140 is at 00:0c:29:69:19:66.”
