Funny packet dropping...?
Dear list,
On natted lenny connected (or not) directly to a nice new Billion DSL
router by a nice new cable. The first pair of ifconfigs connected,
the second disconnected.
Dropping 125,450,950 packets per second received from connected network.
Dropping 125,484,878 packets per second received from somewhere when
disconnected from network.
Hundreds of packets per microsecond? Or am I making a mistake
somewhere here?
Can someone assure me that everything is okay, or tell me what's
going on? Line noise from disconnected line? Noise from space?
Invaders from space? Something?
Thanks...
