Why it is important to protect your device ARP communications
The Address Resolution Protocol’s primary function is to resolve, or map, Internet Protocol version 4 addresses to Media Access Control addresses enabling devices on the same Local Area Network to discover each other and communicate at the data link layer of the Open Systems Interconnection model as defined by RFC 826. How ARP Works Finding a Device: When your device wants to talk to another device on the network but doesn’t know its MAC address, it sends out an ARP broadcast request.
Also, in the case of laptops that connect to multiple networks, you would need to manually set the IP/MAC pairings, so the magical dynamic nature is mostly advantageous. To speed up communication avoiding multiple repetitions of ARP broadcasts, operating systems employ ARP caching that stores the IP/MAC information temporarily, or in other words, gives it a lifetime. Normally this lifetime is a few minutes, but this value is configurable, although requiring some technical ability.
