ARP Table: The ARP Table, or Address Resolution Protocol Table, is a table stored in each device on a network, which maps IP addresses to MAC addresses. This table is essential for local network communication because while IP addresses are used for routing data over the network, MAC addresses are used for direct device-to-device communication within the network.
