SeND alone will validate the IPv6-to-MAC layer mapping, which nicely
solves all attacks against redirecting IPv6 packets to a different
MAC address. Combine with static MAC addressing at switch ports
(port-security or static) and you have solved the problem of one
customer stealing another customer's IPv6 packets.
