The RFC I quoted (985) says the ARP packets generated by Linux
should be dropped. Sure, the RFC isn't a standard, but there ARE plenty of
implementations that obey it for perfectly valid security reasons.

Same goes for 1180. It it doesn't define a standard either, but makes
perfectly clear that any interface has it's own ARP, not one ARP for the
entire system.

Does "has its own ARP" mean "has its own ARP-table"?
I just want to understand you correctly.
