A switch-based ARP attack containment strategy

ARP attack is a serious security problem. There have been several defense ways, proposed to solve this problem. However, all of the previous have some critical drawbacks such as can´t locate the attack source accurately and deal with the attack source immediately. Hence, in this paper, we have proposed a switch-based ARP attack containment strategy, which can overcome these drawbacks and be usable for Local Area Network (LAN). Through the way, a prototyped system has also been implemented and experimented on. The experimental results have demonstrated the switch-based ARP attack containment strategy has better performance than the previous ones.
