To block unauthorized traffic, the system supports an anti-spoofing mechanism that 
limits source address spoofing. Upstream traffic arriving at the ONT is validated for 
source address. Authorized packets are forwarded and non-validated packets are 
discarded, as shown in Figure 1-3.
Figure 1-3  ONT packet authorization
Source address anti-spoofing is implemented in either static or dynamic mode.
• Static mode enables the table of authorized source addresses to be provisioned 
statically by an operator for one of the following anti-spoofing control types:
• MAC only
• IP-only
• MAC and IP
• Dynamic mode enables the table of authorized source addresses to be provisioned 
both statically by an operator and dynamically through DHCP, and supports the 
anti-spoofing control type IP-only.
Source address anti-spoofing filters are applied as follows:
• For IP-only anti-spoofing, packets that match a configured source address are 
forwarded, and non matching packets are dropped. 
• For MAC and IP anti-spoofing, packets that match a configured pair of MAC 
source address and IP source address are forwarded, and non-matching packets 
are dropped.
• MAC-only anti-spoofing can be implemented in one of two modes:
• Inclusive mode forwards packets that match a configured MAC source address, and 
drops non matching packets.
• Exclusive mode forwards packets that do not match a configured MAC source 
address, and drops matching packets.
Not all anti-spoofing control types apply to all traffic. Table 1-10 identifies the 
anti-spoofing control types and any traffic exemptions by source address 
anti-spoofing mode.
