<networking> (AARP) Apple's system to allow AppleTalk
protocol to work over networks other than LocalTalk, such
as Ethernet or Token Ring. AppleTalk nodes announce
their presence to the network so that other nodes can address
messages to them. AARP maps between AppleTalk addresses and
other schemes. It is actually a general address mapping
protocol that can be used to map between addresses at any
protocol level.
