My Motorola Surf Board SB3100 was generating traffic, actually it was the
built-in modem  dhcp-server which was  broadcasting.  The source  IP was
192.168.100.1 (cable  modem's) and it continued to  send broadcasts even
after switching off the dhcp-server  via the web config interface of the
modem.
