-ARPWATCH 2.0
-Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory
-Network Research Group
-arpwatch@ee.lbl.gov
-ftp://ftp.ee.lbl.gov/arpwatch.tar.Z
+This is a development fork of arpwatch. This has been threaded in
+order to better deal with the requirements of multi-interface
+routers. Information regarding MAC addresses and interfaces is
+maintained by the program, and an alert is issued should a device
+move between interfaces. In addition, event processing has been
+refactored, and some bugs have been fixed.
-This directory contains source code for arpwatch and arpsnmp, tools
-that monitors ethernet activity and maintain a database of ethernet/ip
-address pairings. It also reports certain changes via email.
+see net/arpwatch/pkg-descr for more information about arpwatch 2.x
-Arpsnmp has the same database features of arpwatch but relies on an
-external agent to collect the arp data. This distribution contains a
-script, arpfetch, that uses snmpwalk from the CMU SNMP package. This
-package is available from:
-
- ftp://ftp.net.cmu.edu/pub/snmp-dist/cmu-snmp*.tar.Z
-
-It should be trivial to adaptive the output of any snmp query program
-for use with arpsnmp.
-
-Please send bugs and comments to arpwatch@ee.lbl.gov.
