ARP File Location in PC??: Shakil

The document discusses where the ARP file is located on a PC and why static ARP entries may be shown. The ARP cache only exists in memory and not on disk. Static entries shown are likely for multicast IP addresses which have a static mapping process.

As far as I know, the arp cache only lives in memory. The static arp entries you see are for multicast. There is
no arp resolution for multicast so the mapping would sort of be static for any multicast IP that is being used.

This url shows the multicast IP to multicast mac address mapping process--
