RE: What is the difference between IARP and RARP?

Both RARP and IARP belong to Datalink layer protocols.

RARP is used to get the IP address of specific host with the known MAC address.

Inverse Arp(IARP) is used to get the IP address of remote host with the known DLCI number rather than MAC address while configuring Frame relays.
