Hello all,

I am running a fat-tree topology. When I ping a host x with h1 it first 
send arp discovery with ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff as destination. Hence 
everytime a switch gets this packet it floods it. Having no TTL these 
packets are immortal. My question is the following. What is the proper 
way of getting rid of these packets? I thought of decrementing the TTL 
every time a packet hits a switch. However I can only drop the packet 
with TTL = 0 at my controller and I can't create an OpenFlow rule that 
matches all packets with TTL = 0 hence I lose performance having to send 
the packets to my controller everytime I want to drop them. What is the 
proper way to get rid of these packets?

Thank you in advance.
