Next Hop Resolution Protocol
A
protocol used by routers to dynamically discover the MAC address of other
routers and hosts connected to a nonbroadcast multiaccess (NBMA) network. These
systems can then directly communicate without requiring traffic to use an
intermediate hop, increasing performance in Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM),
Frame Relay, Switched Multimegabit Data Service (SMDS), and X.25
environments.
