# The net/arpd port

## arpd-0.2p3 – ARP reply daemon

## Description

    arpd replies to any ARP request for an IP address matching the specified
    destination net with the hardware MAC address of the specified
    interface, but only after determining if another host already claims it.

    Any IP address claimed by arpd is eventually forgotten after a period of
    inactivity or after a hard timeout, and is relinquished if the real
    owner shows up.

    This enables a single host to claim all unassigned addresses on a LAN
    for network monitoring or simulation.
