Can ARP be used in a network other than Ethernet?
ARP is a general protocol, which can be used in any type of broadcast network. The fields in the ARP packet specifies the type of the MAC address and the type of the protocol address. ARP is used with most IEEE 802.x LAN media. In particular, it is also used with FDDI, Token Ring, and Fast Ethernet, in precisely the same way as it is with Ethernet.
