+Arptables is used to set up, maintain, and inspect the tables of ARP rules
+in the Linux kernel. It is analogous to iptables, but operates at the ARP
+layer rather than the IP layer.
+
+Currently, only support for specifying hardware addresses for Ethernet
+is available. This tool is not luser-proof: you can specify an Ethernet
+source address and set hardware length to something different than 6, f.e.
+
+arptables was written by Bart De Schuymer based on code from iptables
