From the manual:

Blocks all incoming ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) requests except broadcast requests for the address of the target machine. Also blocks all incoming ARP replies except those in response to outgoing ARP requests.

It seems that it allows ARP to work as it should for determining the MAC address of a given device's IP, whilst blocking anything else?
