3.3.3.9. p - ARP Statistics
The Address Resolution Protocol handles the mapping of IP and Ethernet
addressing. The AppleTalk Address Resolution Protocol handles the mapping
of AppleTalk and Ethernet addressing. Each packet addressed to a logical
address has to be sent by the Ethernet hardware to a physical Ethernet address.
ARP and AARP handle this translation, and manage a buffer cache. The
statistics are:
Resolver: requests Times resolver called
broad
Times Broadcast address returned
cache: hit
Address found in ARP cache
miss
Address not in ARP cache
retry
Entry in cache re-fetched - no answer
Transmitted:
Packets sent via Ethernet, or via NBP
for IP addresses allocated on AppleTalk
Deferred: xmt
Ethernet packets held waiting ARP resolution
nbp xmt
NBP packets held waiting ARP resolution
replaced
Held packets superseded by following ones
dropped
Dropped packets due to resolution failure
Received:
