Try to make it on topic. Locus was bought by Computer Associates, which has apparently "hijacked" their networks instead of returning them to ARIN :-)

But I couldn't think of a group that would more likely know what Locus Address Resolution Protocol (LARP) is. I've been Googling variations and cross references for LARP for the past hour and am starting to think it's a trick question :). All I can find is all the thousands of RFCs on the AINA numbering for it, but not what the protocol does. If anyone can throw me a bone, I'd really appreciate it.
I believe it was part of Locus' distributed file system protocol. Try searching for papers by Geral Popek. http://fmg-www.cs.ucla.edu/ficus-members/popek/
