+The arpwatch package contains arpwatch and arpsnmp. Arpwatch and
+arpsnmp are both network monitoring tools. Both utilities monitor
+Ethernet or FDDI network traffic and build databases of Ethernet/IP
+address pairs, and can report certain changes via email.
+
+Install the arpwatch package if you need networking monitoring devices
+which will automatically keep track of the IP addresses on your
+network.
