The Address Resolution Protocol - arp is a protocol. Its operation is usually implicit in other network activities, transparent to users. Among other things the arp protocol maintains a table of IP-to-ethernet address mappings derived from its operation. There is a related command that's also named arp. Its focus is the table, and it is a tool whereby maintenance of the arp table can be done manually.
Another command of interest is arping. It is to explicitly trigger the arp protocol to action, emitting arp packets.
