Abstract
Some disclosed examples involve receiving, by an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) of a network device, an indication that a maximum number of learned Internet Protocol (IP) hosts for a subnet has been reached for a given time interval. A 'learned IP host' is an IP host for which a corresponding MAC address is known. Some disclosed examples involve receiving, by the ASIC and in a time interval during which the maximum number of learned IP hosts for the subnet has been reached, a packet having a destination IP address for an unlearned host on the subnet for which the corresponding MAC address is not known. Some disclosed examples involve dropping, by the ASIC, the received packet without involving the CPU of the device.
