Packet Inspection Filter
The Packet Inspection Filter (PIF) allows configuration of rate limits for broadcast neighbor
discovery (IPv4 Address Resolution Protocol and IPv6 Neighbor Solicit) packets. The PIF rate
limiting threshold affects the following services:
•
ARP Broadcast Filter for Mesh links (see
•
Proxy ARP for WLAN interfaces (see
•
Proxy ARP for Tunneled WLANs (see
When Proxy ARP or ARP Broadcast Filter services are enabled, the AP attempts to reduce
neighbor discovery traffic over the air by replacing broadcast messages with unicast messages
for known hosts. When these packets are received for an unknown host, the Packet Inspection
Filter supplements this functionality by limiting the rate at which these packets are delivered.
