ARP (Address Resolution Protocol)

So, this is the protocol that converts IP addresses into MAC addresses so that the data link layer can understand where the data packets need to go.

Fine.

But at what layer of the OSI model does it operate?

I've had a look around the net but can't find a definite answer.

I'm assuming it's either the network or data link.

Or does it work in between those two?
