Abstract

In some implementations, a network device may receive traffic via an interface of the network device. The network device may determine an Internet protocol (IP) address of the traffic. The network device may identify, based on determining the IP address of the traffic, the interface of the network device. The network device may identify a data structure associated with the interface. The network device may determine whether an entry of the data structure is associated with the IP address. The network device may selectively: forward the traffic, based on determining that an entry of the data structure is associated with the IP address, or refrain from forwarding the traffic, based on determining that no entry of the data structure is associated with the IP address.
