	The Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) provides IPv4 hosts within a broadcast domain with a means to discover what (if any) other host owns a network address. It is replaced by the [[IPv6#Neighbor_Discovery\|Neighbor Discovery Protocol]] in [[IPv6]].		The Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) provides IPv4 hosts within a broadcast domain with a means to discover what (if any) other host owns a network address. It is replaced by the [[IPv6#Neighbor_Discovery\|Neighbor Discovery Protocol]] in [[IPv6]]. The ARP cache has a fixed size, and older entries are garbage-collected when necessary (unless marked "permanent"; see below).
