 .SH DESCRIPTION
 .B Arp
-manipulates the kernel's ARP cache in various ways.  The primary options
-are clearing an address mapping entry and manually setting up one.  For
-debugging purposes, the
+manipulates or displays the kernel's IPv4 network neighbour cache. It can add
+entries to the table, delete one or display the current content.
+
+.B ARP
+stands for Address Resolution Protocol, which is used to find the media
+access control address of a network neighbour for a given IPv4 Address.
+.SH MODES
 .B arp
-program also allows a complete dump of the ARP cache.
+with no mode specifier will print the current content of the table. It is
+possible to limit the number of entries printed, by specifying an hardware
+address type, interface name or host address.
+
+.B arp -d
+.I address
+will delete a ARP table entry. Root or netadmin priveledge is required to do
+this. The entry is found by IP address. If a hostname is given, it will be
+resolved before looking up the entry in the ARP table.
+
+.B arp -s
+.I address hw_addr
+is used to set up a new table entry. The format of the 
+.I hw_addr
+parameter is dependent on the hardware class, but for most classes one can
+assume that the usual presentation can be used.  For the Ethernet class,
+this is 6 bytes in hexadecimal, separated by colons. When adding proxy arp
+entries (that is those with the
+.BR pub lish 
+flag set a 
+.B netmask 
+may be specified to proxy arp for entire subnets. This is not good
+practice, but is supported by older kernels because it can be
+useful. If the
+.B temp
+flag is not supplied entries will be permanent stored into the ARP
+cache. To simplyfy setting up entries for one of your own network interfaces, you can use the
+.B "arp \-Ds"
+.I address ifname
+form. In that case the hardware address is taken from the interface with the
