Yeah, ARP is basically one machine yelling "Who has this IP?" and another
one answering "ME!! ME!!".  In IPv6, there's something called "Neighbor
Discovery" where one machine yells "Who has this address?" and another one
yells back "ME!! ME!!".  Totally different things :)

(Note that they both do the exact same thing to make sure the correct
machine is yelling "ME!! ME!!"....)
