Detailed explanation-1: -An ARP packet is encapsulated directly into a data link frame. For example, in Figure 3 an ARP packet is encapsulated in an Ethernet frame. Note that the type field indicates that the data carried by the frame is an ARP packet. Let us see how ARP functions on a typical internet.
Detailed explanation-2: -ARP uses packets, but these are not IP packets. ARP messages ride inside Ethernet frames, or any LAN frame, in exactly the same way as IP packets.
Detailed explanation-3: -Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) is a protocol or procedure that connects an ever-changing Internet Protocol (IP) address to a fixed physical machine address, also known as a media access control (MAC) address, in a local-area network (LAN).
