This statement is correct. ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) is used to map an IP address to a corresponding MAC address in order to deliver packets within a network. When a device needs to send a packet to another device on the same network, it sends an ARP request to ask for that device's MAC address. Once the MAC address is determined, the packet can be addressed and delivered to the destination device.
