- Private VLAN proxy arp.
- Basically allow proxy arp replies back to the same interface

-
- This is done to support (ethernet) switch features, like RFC
- 3069, where the individual ports are NOT allowed to
- communicate with each other, but they are allowed to talk to
- the upstream router. As described in RFC 3069, it is possible
- to allow these hosts to communicate through the upstream
- router by proxy_arp'ing. Don't need to be used together with
- proxy_arp.
-
- This technology is known by different names:
- In RFC 3069 it is called VLAN Aggregation.
- Cisco and Allied Telesyn call it Private VLAN.
- Hewlett-Packard call it Source-Port filtering or port-isolation.
- Ericsson call it MAC-Forced Forwarding (RFC Draft).
