    Abstract: A device may determine internet protocol (IP) traffic monitoring criteria and may monitor IP traffic based on the IP traffic monitoring criteria. The device may update, based on monitoring the IP traffic, a table of currently active IP traffic flows and may update, based on the table of currently active IP traffic flows, an address resolution protocol (ARP) packet filter. The device may receive one or more ARP packets from a different device and may determine whether to accept or discard the one or more ARP packets based on the ARP packet filter. The device may update an ARP table based on determining to accept the one or more ARP packets.

    Abstract: In some implementations, a network device may receive one or more packets via an incoming interface of the network device. The network device may forward, or refraining from forwarding, based on a destination address associated with the one or more packets and the incoming interface of the network device, the one or more packets. The network device may receive, prior to receiving the one or more packets, route information indicating the destination address, and at least one of a set of one or more authorized incoming interfaces of the network device or a set of one or more authorized identifiers that are associated with the destination address and may save the route information in an entry of a data structure. Forwarding, or refraining from forwarding, the one or more packets may further be based on the entry of the data structure.
