[c-nsp] High process CPU on 3750

To add to my earlier post and Dan Hollis' reply (below) the incomplete IP
ARP entries are increaseing at this rate:

cat3750#sh ip arp summary 
2422 IP ARP entries, with 143 of them incomplete

(10 second gap)

cat3750#sh ip arp summary 
2555 IP ARP entries, with 276 of them incomplete

(10 second gap)

cat3750#sh ip arp summary 
2721 IP ARP entries, with 442 of them incomplete 

Would this be classed as high? We have approx a /18 worth of space facing
the public internet, and I'm not quite sure would be considered normal for
general white noise.

The 3750 stack seems to reset the number of incomplete ARP addresses pretty
quickly, is this by design?

you are being massively ip scanned. create arp output rate filters.

class-map match-any arp
   match protocol arp
policy-map rate-limit-arp
   class arp
      police 8000 1500 1500 conform-action transmit exceed-action drop
violate-action drop
interface FastEthernet0/0
  ip policy route-map rate-limit-arp
