ARP address resolution protocol
The Windows command arp stands for address resolution protocol which simply transforms an IP address to its corresponding physical network address.And 'arp -a' simply lists down the physical network addresses of the network devices connected to the current PC.

There is no physical address.
The MAC address is the physical address. Usually the MAC address is a unique hexadecimal address hard coded into the network card.
•What is the physical address (the MAC address) of the NIC (or network adapter) for this connection?
The protocol used to discover a physical address from a known logical address is the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP). ARP operates by broadcasting an ARP request message on the local network, which contains the known logical address (IP address) and asks for the corresponding physical address (MAC address). The device that owns the requested IP address responds with an ARP reply message, providing its physical address. This process enables devices on the same local network to communicate effectively.
ARP stands for Address Resolution Protocol, a network layer protocol used to convert an IP address into a physical address, such as an Ethernet address. A host wishing to obtain a physical address broadcasts an ARP request onto the TCP/IP network. The host on the network that has the IP address in the request then replies with its physical hardware address.

ARP - Address Resolution Protocoll. Gets the corresponding MAC to an IP. RARP - Reverse Address Resolution Protocoll. Gets the corresponding IP to a MAC. The protocoll uses broadcasts and works only in the local network.
MAC address :)
physical address
logical address is called as global address and physical address is called as local address .the ip address,which is used by the user in the network is found to be global for use and it is easily identified in any network .physical address is mac address ,which is stored in the nic card,which is mainly used ,when the system is connected in the network using switch
