Currently, the traps 'ARP_REQUEST' and 'ARP_RESPONSE' occur at layer 2. To allow the packets to be flooded, they are configured with the action 'MIRROR_TO_CPU' which means that the CPU receives a replica of the packet. Today, Spectrum ASICs also support trapping ARP packets at layer 3. This behavior is better, then the packets can just be trapped and there is no need to mirror them. An additional motivation is that using the traps at layer 2, the ARP packets are dropped in the router as they do not have an IP header, then they are counted as error packets, which might confuse users. Add the relevant traps for layer 3 and use them instead of the existing traps. There is no visible change to user space.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
