A Go package implementing the ARP protocol as described in RFC 826 for network address resolution.
arp is a Go package that implements the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) as defined in RFC 826. It provides functionality for sending and receiving ARP packets to resolve IP addresses to MAC addresses on local networks. The package enables network applications to perform address resolution and monitor ARP traffic programmatically.
Go developers building network applications, network monitoring tools, or low-level networking utilities that require ARP protocol functionality.
It offers a pure Go implementation of ARP with a clean API that follows Go conventions, making it easier to integrate ARP functionality into Go applications without relying on external C libraries or system tools.

Implements ARP exactly as specified in the standard, ensuring protocol correctness and reliability for network applications.
Follows Go standard library conventions with a minimal interface, making it easy to integrate into Go projects without external dependencies.
Provides direct functions to send, receive, and parse ARP packets, enabling low-level network programming and customization.
Offers a client interface for active ARP requests and passive traffic monitoring, useful for building network discovery or security tools.
Limited to Linux, BSD, and Unix-like systems with raw socket access, excluding native Windows without workarounds like WSL.
Raw socket operations often need root or CAP_NET_RAW capabilities, complicating deployment in secure or restricted environments.
Only handles ARP; for broader networking needs, additional packages must be integrated, increasing project complexity.
