## Data Object Description

Information from an IP stack about known mappings betwwen an IP address and the underlying physical address it maps to as learned by: IPv4: Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) RFC 826 IPv6: Neighbor Discovery Protocol (NDP) RFC 4861

Properties

Name | Type | Description
--- | --- | ---
device | xsd:string | The value will be the name of the interface as reported by the operating system.
ipAddress | xsd:string | A Unicast IP address of another system directly reachable w/o routing. IPv4 address is specified using dotted decimal notation. For example, "192.0.2.1". IPv6 addresses are 128-bit addresses represented as eight fields of up to four hexadecimal digits. A colon separates each field (:). For example, 2001:DB8:101::230:6eff:fe04:d9ff. The address can also consist of the symbol '::' to represent multiple 16-bit groups of contiguous 0's only once in an address as described in RFC 2373.
physicalAddress | xsd:string | The media-dependent of the address or empty string if not yet learned. For Ethernet interfaces this is a MAC address reported in the format: XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX where XX are hexadecimal numbers.
type | xsd:string | The type/state of this entry as reported by the IP stack. See EntryType for values.
