    MACsec is an IEEE standard (IEEE 802.1AE) for MAC security, introduced in
    2006. It defines a way to establish a protocol independent connection
    between two hosts with data confidentiality, authenticity and/or integrity,
    using GCM-AES-128. MACsec operates on the Ethernet layer and as such is a
    layer 2 protocol, which means it's designed to secure traffic within a
    layer 2 network, including DHCP or ARP requests. It does not compete with
    other security solutions such as IPsec (layer 3) or TLS (layer 4), as all
    those solutions are used for their own specific use cases.
