AARF Overview

In the network environment, the switches are often attacked by malicious packets (ARP, ICMP, etc.). These malicious attacks impose heavy burdens on the switch system and make the system unable to continue running. Usually, a large number of packets will consume the CPU utilization, memory, table entries or other resources of the switch. As a result, the other normal protocol packets and management packets cannot be processed by the system, or even the whole network cannot run.

AARF can effectively identify and prevent the switch from being affected by these attacks. It can ensure the normal operation of the system and protect the CPU from excessive load when the switch is attacked, so that the whole network can run normally.
