Address resolution protocol (ARP) is used for binding a logical address to a physical address in many network technologies. However, since ARP is an stateless protocol, it always abused for performing ARP-based attacks. Researchers presented many technologies to improve ARP protocol, but most of them require a high implementation cost or scarify the network performance for improving security of ARP protocol. In this paper, we present an address auto-resoultion (AAR) network system to neutralize the ARP-based attacks. The AAR turns off the communication function of ARP messages(e.g. request and reply), but does not disable the ARP table. In our system, the MAC address of destination was designed to be derived from destination IP address so that the ARP table can be managed statically without prior knowledge (e.g., IP and MAC address pairs). In general, the AAR is safe from the ARP-based attacks since it disables the ARP messages and saves network traffics due to so.
