Abstract
Disclosed approaches for protecting against attacks on a network device, a second network device receives a first message from a first network device. In response to the first message, the second network device determines a first area from which the first network device issued the message. The second network device determines whether or not the first area intersects a second area having the second network device. In response to determining that the first area intersects the second area, the second network device acknowledges the first message to the first network device. In response to determining that the first area does not intersect the second area, the second network device rejects the first message.
