.Sh DESCRIPTION
The Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) is a protocol used to dynamically
-map between Internet host addresses and 10Mb/s Ethernet addresses.
-It is used by all the 10Mb/s Ethernet interface drivers.
-It is not specific to Internet protocols or to 10Mb/s Ethernet,
+map between Internet host addresses and Ethernet addresses.
+It is used by all the Ethernet interface drivers.
+It is not specific to Internet protocols or to Ethernet,
but this implementation currently supports only that combination.
.Pp
ARP caches Internet-Ethernet address mappings.
