BOOTP is the booting protocol. RARP is the Reverse address resolution protocol.
BOOTP, and eventually DHCP, replaced RARP. Both BOOTP and DHCP offer a more robust, flexible method of assigning IP addresses.

Practically, none. BOOTP replaces RARP and DHCP has long since replaced BOOTP. You might have found RARP in use on old UNIX workstations in as late as the early 1990s, but you will never see it in any practical networking situation.
There are many more than three protocols which can operate at the application layer. Some of these are; Telnet FTP TFTP SMTP IMAP POP DNS RARP BOOTP SNMP CMOT
In many industrial applications, DHCP is not used because it is desired for devices to have the same IP address all the time, whereas in an office application it doesn't really matter if you get a different IP address from the network every time. Some industrial Ethernet devices, like I/O for EtherNet/IP, are BootP enabled in their default out-of-box settings. Thus, in the industrial world, BootP is still used and widely accepted as a quick and simple way to give devices an IP address. Phoenix Contact has a simple, freeware BootP server that can be used for this purpose which can be downloaded at the link below.
Reverse Address Resolution Protocol, obsoleted by BootP and DHCP, allows a computer to obtain an IP address after it has obtained an ethernet address. Bootstrap Protocol allows a computer to obtain an IP address when the operating system is starting up.
1. DHCP was designed to replace the older BOOTP 2. BOOTP can only provide an IP to a computer while it is booting while DHCP can provide an IP when the OS is already loaded 3. DHCP is primarily used to seamlessly provide IP addresses to computers while BOOTP is used to configure and boot diskless computers or thin clients 4. BOOTP has a 30 day lease on the IP address as a default while DHCP only sets 8 as a default 5. DHCP can automatically rebind or renew their leases while BOOTP requires a system restart
RARP is short from Reverse Address resolution protocol. As the name suggests RARP functions the reverse as ARP. That is it maps MAC address to IP address.
RARP help the PC to find its MAC address in the same network from the RARP Server.RARP Serveronly providethe IP adress to the PC by remembering its MAC.DHCP works on the same way but DHCP Server provide the PC its IP address, Subnetmask, Default Gateway and DNS Server etc...So the big difference is DHCP provide more information than your RARP Server.

You cant windows does not come with a rarp command and I have yet to find one on the internet that actually works
