      gluon-ebtables-limit-arp: a package for ARP rate-limiting · 84a6f65f
      Linus Lüssing authored
      
      This package adds filters to limit the amount of ARP Requests
      devices are allowed to send into the mesh. The limits are 6 packets
      per minute per client device, by MAC address, and 1 per second per
      node in total.
      
      A burst of up to 50 ARP Requests is allowed until the rate-limiting
      takes effect (see --limit-burst in the ebtables manpage).
      
      Furthermore, ARP Requests with a target IP already present in the
      batman-adv DAT Cache are excluded from the rate-limiting,
      both regarding counting and filtering, as batman-adv will respond
      locally with no burden for the mesh. Therefore, this limiter
      should not affect popular target IPs, like gateways.
      
      However it should mitigate the problem of curious people or
      smart devices scanning the whole IP range. Which could create
      a significant amount of overhead for all participants so far.
