I connect to the internet using one of my FreeBSD boxes using isdn with i4b as a gateway. It always as been configured to disconnect after some idle time. Well it as always been working... until a couple days ago I noticed that it wasn't disconnecting. I have also noticed this problem with several other people using other operating systems in this area and with this isp. The thing is, if I stay with everything idle I am able to notice that there is incoming traffic. The time interval between these packets is 1 or 2 seconds. Please notice that this ONLY happens when the communications to the internet are idle. These packets do NOT show up when normal traffic is taking place. Why am I receiving this packets ? I tried to know what are the contents of those packets and here is the result : Frame (64 on wire, 64 captured) Frame arrived on Mar 22, 1999 00:25:24.1818 Total frame length: 64 bytes Capture frame length: 64 bytes Point-to-Point Protocol Address: ff Control: 03 Protocol: IP (0x0021) Internet Protocol Version: 4 Header length: 20 bytes Type of service: 0x00 (None) 000. .... = routine precedence ...0 .... = normal delay .... 0... = normal throughput .... .0.. = normal reliability .... ..0. = normal cost Total length: 60 Identification: 0x0000 Flags: 0x0 .0.. .... = may fragment ..0. .... = last fragment Fragment offset: 0 Time to live: 2 Protocol: Unknown (58) Header checksum: 0xd274 Source address: coi-rd1.telepac.net (194.65.66.234) Destination address: IGRP-ROUTERS.MCAST.NET (224.0.0.10) Frame (64 on wire, 64 captured) Frame arrived on Mar 22, 1999 00:25:24.1818 Total frame length: 64 bytes Capture frame length: 64 bytes Point-to-Point Protocol Address: ff Control: 03 Protocol: IP (0x0021) Internet Protocol Version: 4 Header length: 20 bytes Type of service: 0x00 (None) 000. .... = routine precedence ...0 .... = normal delay .... 0... = normal throughput .... .0.. = normal reliability .... ..0. = normal cost Total length: 60 Identification: 0x0000 Flags: 0x0 .0.. .... = may fragment ..0. .... = last fragment Fragment offset: 0 Time to live: 2 Protocol: Unknown (58) Header checksum: 0xd274 Source address: coi-rd1.telepac.net (194.65.66.234) Destination address: IGRP-ROUTERS.MCAST.NET (224.0.0.10) Thank you for your help!
