 // Package arp implements the ARP network protocol. It is used to resolve
 // IPv4 addresses into link-local MAC addresses, and advertises IPv4
 // addresses of its stack with the local network.
-//
-// To use it in the networking stack, pass arp.NewProtocol() as one of the
-// network protocols when calling stack.New. Then add an "arp" address to every
-// NIC on the stack that should respond to ARP requests. That is:
-//
-//	if err := s.AddAddress(1, arp.ProtocolNumber, "arp"); err != nil {
