RARP help the PC to find its MAC address in the same network from the RARP Server.RARP Serveronly providethe IP adress to the PC by remembering its MAC.
DHCP works on the same way but DHCP Server provide the PC its IP address, Subnetmask, Default Gateway and DNS Server etc...
So the big difference is DHCP provide more information than your RARP Server.
BOOTP, and eventually DHCP, replaced RARP. Both BOOTP and DHCP offer a more robust, flexible method of assigning IP addresses.

ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) is used resolve known IP Address to the Machines MAC Address (Layer 2 - OSI Layer). Whereas RARP is used to resolve IP Adresses from know layer 2 address.ARP is still used while RARP has been replaced with DHCP.
Reverse Address Resolution Protocol (RARP) has several limitations, including its reliance on a single broadcast method, which can lead to network congestion and inefficiencies. It also requires a dedicated RARP server, making it less scalable and flexible compared to more advanced protocols like DHCP. Additionally, RARP only provides IP address resolution without supporting other configuration options, such as subnet masks or default gateways, which limits its functionality in modern networks. Lastly, RARP is not widely used today, as it has largely been replaced by more robust protocols.
Reverse Address Resolution Protocol, obsoleted by BootP and DHCP, allows a computer to obtain an IP address after it has obtained an ethernet address. Bootstrap Protocol allows a computer to obtain an IP address when the operating system is starting up.
Practically, none. BOOTP replaces RARP and DHCP has long since replaced BOOTP. You might have found RARP in use on old UNIX workstations in as late as the early 1990s, but you will never see it in any practical networking situation.
There are many more than three protocols which can operate at the application layer. Some of these are; Telnet FTP TFTP SMTP IMAP POP DNS RARP BOOTP SNMP CMOT
No idea. Below information obtained here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/169289 may help. DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is a standard protocol defined by RFC 1541 (which is superseded by RFC 2131) that allows a server to dynamically distribute IP addressing and configuration information to clients. Normally the DHCP server provides the client with at least this basic information: • IP Address • Subnet Mask • Default Gateway Other information can be provided as well, such as Domain Name Service (DNS) server addresses and Windows Internet Name Service (WINS) server addresses. The system administrator configures the DHCP server with the options that are parsed out to the client.
RARP is short from Reverse Address resolution protocol. As the name suggests RARP functions the reverse as ARP. That is it maps MAC address to IP address.
BOOTP is the booting protocol. RARP is the Reverse address resolution protocol.
ARP and RARP protocols are present at network layer. ARP is short form of address resolution protocol. IP is the type of header an ARP frame contain .
You cant windows does not come with a rarp command and I have yet to find one on the internet that actually works
