Intriguing.
I guess this means that you only heard ARP requests for IP addresses
that other systems in the same broadcast domain thought were local to
said broadcast domain.
You wouldn't need to worry about errant ARP requests for things outside
of the local subnet as that would go through the default gateway (or
other defined router).
I like it.
Yes. Specifically IPv4.
*nod*
The point of bozo-arp and anyipd was that the only
necessary configuration
was to turn it on. Of course, there may be scenarios in which one does
not want the router to respond to bogus ARP requests, in which case
bozo-arp/anyipd should not be used.
Like all tools, you have to be careful where you do use it. - I'd
default with it off (or not installed) and turn it on as necessary.
