"Reverse" is going back, whereas " inverse" is turning it upside down, right? Anyone can explain to me the difference between "RARP" and " inverse ARP" in plain English, please?
Much appreciated!

RARP is an older way to assign IP addresses to an end system. It since has been replaced by DHCP.
Inverse ARP is a mechanism used on Frame Relay PVCs to map a remote IP address (on the other side of the cloud) to a local DLCI (on the near side of the cloud).
I thought you use RARP to find the IP address of a device with a known MAC address .....
Yes, that's where I found inverse ARP, while studying Frame Relays ...
Thanks!
I think you mean BOOTP - a simpler static ancestor of DHCP.
Not quiet - a device can only find out it's own IP address using RARP - really from the pre-NVRAM days of diskless workstations, printers and maybe cams or other sensor type devices that only had ROM (and Volatile RAM).

So there's ARP, Proxy ARP, RARP and Inverse ARP - known them well :-)

Agree - plain vanilla BOOTP was used in between RARP and BP w/DHCP extensions, but it's the latter which is used just about everywhere at this point in time.
