+This is a **filter** on **incoming packets**. If reverse path filtering is enabled, kernel may drops packets that do not arrive on the expected interface according to the routing table.
+=== Ignore received ARP requests (arp_ignore) ===
+This is a **filter** on **outgouing packets** (responses to ARP requests).

 Con il parametro **rp_filter=1** il pacchetto ARP ricevuto viene ispezionato: se l'interfaccia su cui è stato ricevuto non corrisponde alla route che si dovrebbe usare per comunicare con l'IP sorgente, il pacchetto viene scartato (nota bene: il pacchetto //ARP request// **contiene l'indirizzo IP** dell'host che lo ha generato).
+**ATTENZIONE**: Alcuni software modificano questo parametro a seconda della propria configurazione; ad esempio Shorewall imposta **rp_filter=1** se nel file **/etc/shorewall/interfaces** l'interfaccia viene impostata con l'opzione **routefilter**, altrimenti il parametro viene reimpostato a zero.
