We need some documentation on your proposed use of a arp number. This can be in the form of a one to two page description, article, or manual. We are looking for a technical description of how your user of arp is similar to and different from the basic arp for ip over ethernet. Below is the example of the arp fields for the ethernet and IPv4. What are the values for your case? (ar$hrd) = ares_hrd$Ethernet = 1 (ar$pro) = ET(IP) = 2048 (ar$hln) = length (EA(X)) = 6 (ar$pln) = length (IPA(X)) = 4 (ar$op) = ares_op$REQUEST = 1 (ar$sha) = EA(X) = 6 octet Ethernet address of X (ar$spa) = IPA(X) = 4 octet IPv4 address of X (ar$tha) = don't care = 6 octet filed to be filled in (ar$tpa) = IPA(Y) = 4 octet IPv4 address of Y We are willing to sign a non-disclosure agreement if your prodect is considered "proprietary". Processing the non-disclosure agreement will take much longer (a month or more) than making the actual assignment (a week or less). Please return the application to "iana@iana.org". Thanks. Josh
